High Point Pullover is a circular-yoke construction design, worked seamlessly from the top down, allowing you to try it on as you go and easily adjust the finished length to your preference. German short rows are incorporated below the collar, to raise the back of the neck slightly, for a more comfortable fit.

High Point Pullover is a DK weight sweater, designed with a full-length sleeve and two body length options: Cropped and High-Hip length. The cropped length is great for layering over a dress or to pair with your favorite high-waisted skirt or jeans. The High-Hip length can be worn with - anything! High Point Pullover features a lace yoke and is adorned with two-color corrugated rib below the collar and just before the hem and sleeve cuffs. The contrast collar, hem, and sleeve cuffs are worked in a 1x1 twisted rib.

The yoke lace design is both charted and written instructions.

Main Gauge Information
Stockinette Stitch: 19 sts / 26 rnds per 4”/ 10 cm worked on Needle A in the rnd, measured post-blocking

Note! To ensure proper fit, it is essential to gauge swatch and to block your swatch in the same manner as you will the finished garment. Take note of your round gauge prior to blocking. If you achieve stitch gauge but your round gauge is off, you can modify total number of rounds worked for desired body and sleeve length (for example, if your gauge results in more rounds per inch, you will likely need to work additional rounds to meet the pattern lengths).

1x1 Twisted Rib (at sleeve cuffs): 24 sts / 28 rnds per 4”/ 10 cm worked on Needle C in the rnd, measured post-blocking
