Granite Creek
This top down pullover is knit seamlessly. Stitches are cast on and knitting flat, short rows shape the back and shoulder sections. Front stitches are then cast on and the sweater is knit in the round. Raglan increases are added for shaping. At the underarm, sleeve stitches are put on hold and the body is completed. Ribbing and an i-cord bind off complete the body.
The sleeve stitches are then picked up and sleeves completed in the round, finishing with ribbing and an i-cord bind off.
The neckline is completed with an i-cord bind off.
Options for long sleeves and cap sleeves are given. Yardage listed below is for long sleeve version. Cap sleeve version requires approximately 25% less yardage.
The 2 yarns are alternated throughout giving a striped effect.
Lace held double may also be an option - dropping 1 strand for the mohair portions of the pattern.
