The Sum Of Its Parts Pullover

I’ve always wanted to design a batwing pullover. Not only does the batwing resemble my favourite shape (the triangle), but the style is so fun and flattering on all shapes and sizes.
To write this pattern, I had to break the design down into parts and take you through them step-by-step. This will help you navigate through the construction process to achieve a pullover perfectly made for you. I’ve never written a pattern like this one before, but I’m glad I did. This pattern is definitely greater than the sum of its parts.

This pattern includes photo tutorials for the Puff Stitch and Crossed Double Crochet stitch. It also includes a lot of photos to help you make your pullover.
