INTRODUCTION
Indigo Pullover is a dropped shoulder style garment that has a very loose drape. It is intended to have a lot of positive ease. Reference the sizing chart for the finished garment sizes. There is short row shaping on the back to add extra length to the back.

This garment is worked flat in sections and then seamed together. The shoulders are grafted using the Kitchener Stitch Method and the side seams are grafted using the Mattress Stitch Method. You work the front section and then the back section. The sleeves are made one at a time and then seamed to the body.

The pattern can be easily modified. You can add length to the front and back by increasing the number of rows but be advised that may increase the total yardage needed. It is also important to make the same number of increases on the front as you do the back so your seaming will align.

This pattern uses 2 or 3 colors of yarn. The sample shown uses three colors. The master color is used for the body of the garment. Contrast Color 1 “CC1” is used for the front bottom hem and the contrast band at the upper front and back of the garment. The neck line and shoulders for the front and back use Contrast Color 2 “CC2”. This is also used on the sleeves. As an option you can use MC instead of CC2 if you only want to use two colors.
