Knitted in the round with worsted yarn, this unisex pullover will fly off your needles!

What makes it even better is that there’s no sewing sleeves or buttons! After knitting it top-down, with raglan sleeves, you will pick up stitches around the neck and knit a shawl collar.

The shawl collar is shaped with w&t (wrapped stitches) but as they are worked on garter stitch you’re always doing you wrap on knit rows which is very simple. Pattern provides written detailed explanation of the method and link to a video.

The pattern is for a plain pullover. But you’ll see that it is really easy to add stripes (as it’s knitted in the round), or choose to knit the collar and edging in a different colour. There are also different finishing options to personalize the pullover.
