Ahoy Oy! is a tailored Ziggurat pullover with a high, wide neckline, boatneck style, and ‘set-in’ sleeves.

There is some (optional) waist and rear shaping yet the fit is relaxed.
Optional bust dart (one size so as to not upset the striping).

• Ziggurat: everything is knitted in one go, top to bottom
• no seaming
• carry the yarn from stripe to stripe: very few ends to weave in
• sideways double-knitted striped collar: a fun optional detail for the advanced or adventuresome knitter
• seamless lined hem with a little split in back for hip comfort

As usual, there’s the Helpful Table to keep track of increases from shoulder to underarm cast-on.
