The Salty Sweater is a drop shoulder turtleneck pullover. It is a classic design that will enrich your wardrobe because it pairs well with everything. It is designed to sit right on your hip level in length, but it can easily be made longer since it is constructed from the top down. Neckline is shaped with a ”dip” in the back and the front to influence the boxy fit while making minimum short rows to shape the shoulders. Sweater is framed with the classic 2 x 2 rib around the neckline, waist and the cuffs.
A few videos are included in the pattern. 10 to 20 cm / 4” to 8” of positive ease is built in to the pattern, chose your size based on how much ease you prefer.
