This gorgeous garter stitch pullover perfectly blends everyone’s favorite back-and-fourth knitting with interesting techniques like short rows and knitting in the round to create a stimulating project you’ll find yourself picking up again and again. Grab your yarn and relax into that “kick your feet up” style of knitting for an evening of rhythmic needle clicking and, while you’re at it, have a cocktail.

This pullover begins at the neckline which is worked in the round. The body is worked flat in two panels (Front and Back) from the neckline and shoulders down and seamed together at the sides. The sleeves are cast directly onto the body and worked in the round.
