Notes

The single pattern isn’t available by .pdf, but the Mag is here: https://store.vogueknitting.com/p-5735-vogue-knitting-202...


AESTHETIC FIX: When dividing for the sleeves for the small size (300 sts), I shifted the sleeves back one stitch (72 sts away from the V-neck instead of 71) to avoiding changing a ribbing column from purl to knit adjacent to the markers. If you do this, your K2/P2 columns remain intact from the beginning. Note that the new instructions for the sleeve increases become: (Work in pat to 1 st before marker, yo, p1, sm, p1, yo) twice.

However, this ALSO means that you have to flip the “right side” to the “wrong side”. No matter really. Because of the way the pullover is constructed, you can flip it right at the end, before the 3-needle bind-off.


Couldn’t resist this one, even thought I had to buy a 150cm Addi to help make it!
