Side Effect
Side Effect is a top-down, seamless pullover with decorative cables on the back.
The upper yoke is worked back and forth in rows, the front neckline is shaped with regular increases simultaneously with the raglan shaping. After the completion of the neckline shaping the pieces are joined together and the lower yoke is worked in the round with raglan shaping.
After the yoke is complete, the body is worked in one piece to the hem.
The sleeves are worked in the round to the cuff.
The back is slightly longer than the front, this effect is achieved with paired increases and decreases throughout the body. The ribbed pattern of the back emphasizes this shaping.
