This is a very comfortable, easy-to-wear pullover. The square neck is flattering to many body types, and the side slit allows the pullover to skim the hips without clinging. The body begins with a separate front and back which are joined at the top of the slit. The body is worked in-the-round from the top of the slit to the armholes, then the front and back are worked separately to the shoulders. The sleeves are picked up and worked down from the armholes with short-row shaping to shape the sleeve caps, so you can adjust the sleeve length as you wish.

The checkerboard pattern is presented in written format.
