Duality Pullover
Introductory Offer: 15% off regular price until May 8th (CT) - no coupon required.
The Duality Pullover is worked top-down in the round. After the neckband, a few German short rows are worked to optimize fit across the back. The yoke features a stranded colourwork pattern that continues into the upper body and sleeves, followed by st st. Chinese Waitress cast-on at the neck and bind-off at the hem and cuffs is combined with a purl row to create neatly rounded edges. Yoke depth, body and sleeve lengths are customizable. Schematic, written instructions and charts are included.
Special thanks to my tech editor and test knitters for their assistance!
