The Sandro Pullover is a unisex, oversized, all over cabled sweater. It is worked from the top down with a European shoulder construction. You start by casting on the back and then continue knitting it back and forth while working increases for a better fit. After this, each shoulder is worked back and forth and shaped with short row shaping, and when they reach the right length they are joined to form the front yoke. Back and front yoke are worked separately and then joined together at the underarms. The sleeves are worked from stitches that are picked up and knit along the armhole edge and they are shaped using short rows. The neck edge is worked up in ribbing with stitches picked up along the neckline, it is then folded over and knitted together.
This pattern includes guidelines for adjusting it to better fit a masculine body type.
