A breezy soft pullover designed for easy summer knitting. Worked from the top down in the round with short row neck shaping all the parts that require concentration happen in the very beginning. Once you’re through the yoke its just smooth sailing (stockinette stitch) ‘till the edging.

I chose Magpie Solstice DK weight for its unique fiber blend and worked it at a very relaxed gauge. If substituting yarns look for worsted weight yarns that produce a fabric you at a gauge of 17-18 stitches/4”/10cm

Selecting the correct amount of ease is personal.Please choose a size based on your own preferences, personal style or comfort- if you’re not sure what size to choose measure a favorite sweatshirt across the chest and choose the sizes that is closest.
