NOTES

  1. Pullover is constructed in a simplified way, perfect if you are new to making garments! The Center Front and Back Panels are made first – these are just rectangles. The Side Panels (just more rectangles) are worked across the edges of the Center Panels and the Sleeves are worked directly onto the Side Panels. By working these sections directly onto the piece, a lot of sewing together is eliminated!
  2. Our pattern includes diagrams and step by step instructions to make the construction process clear and easy to understand.
  3. All the pieces except the Sleeves are worked back and forth in rows. The Sleeves are worked in rnds.
  4. In some parts of the pattern, whether you are left or right handed will make a difference. In these sections, specific left and right hand written instructions and diagrams are provided.
  5. The Pullover is designed with the back slightly longer than the front for a flattering hi-lo shape.
