NOTES
The AB Pullover is a perfect sweater for early autumn. Two different yarn weights—one thick, one thin—are combined through pattern stitchwork to highlight the characteristics of each. When knitting the yoke flat, you can choose either Side A (grid pattern) or Side B (star pattern) as the front of the garment, depending on the effect you prefer, and then begin working the yoke in the round. This is a project with a lot of room for creative interpretation.
AB is a top-down raglan pullover. The raglan depth is worked fairly deep, creating a wide, roomy sleeve effect. The finished garment has three-quarter-length sleeves, and there are two options to choose from: an open/cuffed version and a closed version. The body is gradually decreased to create a waisted, fitted silhouette.

SIZE
(XS, S, M) (L, XL, 2XL, 3XL)
For a fitted look, we recommend choosing 20-25 cm of positive ease or sizing down one size. The model’s bust measurement is 84 cm; she is wearing the Gold Brown version (Side B) in size S.
For a relaxed, oversized look, we recommend choosing 30-35 cm of positive ease and your regular size.
