This whimsy little pullover is knit from the top down seamlessly. It features a circular yoke using basic increases. A little striping in the lower body adds some visual interest. An optional wrap and turn section can be worked at the lower hem to give a little feminine shaping. The sleeves are worked in the round and have decreases to keep the sleeves looking fitted. The bottom of the sleeve has bobbles for some texture. All in all, this is a really simple knit that works up quickly in Stockinette stitch.
