The Sunshine Pullover is knit from the top down with seamless hems worked at the yoke, sleeve cuff, and lower edges. Double-layered hems are worked at each edge of this sweater, using two different techniques for the cast-on or bind-off edges. The hems and sleeves are knitted in stockinette stitch, and the honeycomb pattern is worked in a multiple of 6 stitches plus 2, which can interchange with the other stitch patterns in this chapter! This sweater would look great in a lacy pattern and short sleeves. See page 54 for more info on adjusting sleeve length.
