Classic comfort pullover is just want the name suggests, comforting and is my best friend on cold Sundays.

The sweater is worked from the top down. First the back is worked back and forth with short row shaping. The back stitches are placed on hold. The shoulders are picked up and worked separately in rows. The shoulders are joined to work the front. Then the front and back are joined in the round and the body is worked and ended with a 1x1 ribbed hem. The sleeves are picked up along the armhole and worked top-down in the round, with decreases on lower part of sleeve, and finished with a 1x1 ribbed cuff. The neckband is picked up and worked in a 1x1 rib as a foldable turtleneck.
