This charming, airy pullover is characterized by bat-sleeves, and is knitted seamlessly in one piece. It is reversible, so you can wear the V-neckline in the front or the back. Due to its cut, each size fits a wide variety of figures, and is flattering on all figures.

The crucial thing in working this pattern - which features a lot of 3-from-3 stitches and is worked with mohair yarn - is to find the right tension or gauge.

When choosing the yarn for your project, look for a mohair with more stitch definition so that you do not completely lose the visibility of the pattern.

CONSTRUCTION:

The pullover is worked horizontally from the left side to the right, beginning with the left cuff worked in ribbing with the fingering 4ply sock yarn. The left sleeve is then worked in the PolarStar pattern in the mohair yarn. Afterwards is the garment worked flat: left shoulder first, then divided for the neck, then joined back into right shoulder. Finally, the piece is joined again in the round and the right sleeve is worked with decreases, ending with the right cuff ribbed with the fingering 4ply sock yarn again.

Stitches for the neckline are picked from the upper side of the body with mohair cobweb yarn and the I-cord edge is worked.

Stitches for the waist are picked from the bottom side of the body and worked in the round in ribbing with the fingering 4ply sock yarn.
