Lush textured crochet stitches form undulating lines on a relaxed drop shoulder pullover with a deep V-neck.

The pullover is worked flat, sideways, from left to right edges in four pieces, then sewn together.

It features all over textured Almond ridge stitch creating the cable-like wavy lines worked with a larger hook, trimmed with half double slip stitch ribbing worked with a smaller hook at the sides, bottom hem, sleeve cuffs and applied along the V-neckline.

The yarn amounts include approx. 10% extra. Consider getting more in the same dyelot if you plan to lengthen the sleeves or body.
