This is a recipe so that you can dive into your stash, choose some yarn and cast on a Top Down pullover for yourself. Use any gauge of yarn, calculate the number of stitches in 1” and you are on your way. Because you use your own body & arm measurements for the finished size it’s going to fit both your Bust and your Arms. Work a Straight Body with Hip Shaping or an A-line shaped Body. Work cap, 3/4 or long sleeves.

There is a set of companion Hacker Pages with more tips and tricks. Three examples of stitch patterns added to the Front, Back and sleeves. How to add Bust Shaping, more width to the Front, of your pullover. How to extend the Raglan lines down the body, under the arm. How to Raise the Back of Neck on the Neckband. Design Elements you can add to the basic pullover to make this sweater your very own.

I’ve just added one more cable pattern for you.
