I think this is a fascinating stitch pattern! I love the way the ovals nest within the unusual ribbing. The pattern looks pretty complicated, but after the first repeat, you’ll get into the rhythm of it. To make this a four-season pattern, I’ve given you instructions for both short and long sleeves – take your pick (or work up two sweaters!).

This pullover is worked from the bottom up in pieces, then sewn together. It is worked in 2 sleeve lengths, a short-sleeve and a long-sleeve length.

The stitch patterns are presented in written format.
