For That Simple pullover design, I decided to play with a lower contrast in colour and a higher contrast in yarn texture. 
I’ve chosen the same colour family and played with different tints, tones, and shades to achieve playfulness and youthfulness and ensure a modern, effortless look. I also wanted to combine blurry and crisp looks in the design, which I accomplished using different types of yarn.
Construction. That is the area that requires more attention in knitting to have a beautiful, fitting garment. For the garment’s construction, I’ve chosen a fitted raglan. That Simple pullover is knit from the top down. Back neck shaping and a back lift are made to ensure an excellent neck-shoulder area fit. The yoke of the pullover is worked back and forth while shaping the back and front neck area. The rest of the garment is knit in a round.

This garment is graded into sizes 1 (2, 3, 4, 5) (6, 7, 8, 9).
Recommended positive ease is 5-8 cm ( 2-3“ ) at the Upper Body Circumference.
