A most unusual and fun way to make a one-piece, seamless pullover without any purling: nalgar sleeves! This construction method makes built-in sleeves that get longer as they get wider, so it’s great for warm weather, shorter-sleeved garments. Worked in the round from the bottom up, the Purlless Pullover features a cute garter stitch yoke that highlights the construction and avoids purling.
