DETAILS
I can’t get enough of this simple, slipped stitch pattern! Depending on if you choose high or low contrast colors, it completely changes the look. This comfy, drop-shoulder pullover is the perfect way to showcase this beautiful stitch in the color combos of your dreams!
This sweater is worked from the bottom up. The body is worked in the round until the divide for the yoke. The remainder is worked flat, and the shoulders are finished using the 3 needle bind off. The sleeves are then picked up from the body and knit in the round down to the cuff.
