The Dathan Pullover is a children’s bottom-up drop-sleeve sweater with a buttoned Henley neck and high collar — designed at my 11-year-old son’s request! It’s worked in the round to the sleeve separation, then the front and back are knit flat before picking up stitches for the sleeves. The body features smooth stockinette that transitions into the same textured stitch pattern as the Dathan Hat, making them a perfect matching set.
