The sleeves on this knit in the round pullover are not sewn in: they are knitted “of a piece with the body”. No purling in this all-knit, but still textured sweater, using a special technique. Patterns for the adventurous knitter and the “blind follower”. Four sizes from 32” to 44”, with directions to make the sweater in any custom size. No needle size given: use the size that gives you gauge, start with a swatch “cap”.
