The Isop (Hyssop) pullover is everything a classic patterned wool sweater should be: it is soft, warm, flexible, and easy to wear. For a better fit, the back is raised with short rows, the neckband is a doubled rib, and cuffs are cozy. All that and it’s crocheted! The main technique is single crochet through back loops. The pullover is worked from the top down, completely without seams, so it is easy to try on as you work. Some of the steps are demonstrated in instruction videos on Järbo’s YouTube channel.
