A comfortable fit with an addictive textured design down the arms and center back. You will find it knits up quickly! This has been knit holding yarns together to equal a DK weight, or with a single strand of DK weight yarn. Be creative, have fun with it. I have made the pattern #sizeinclusive with 13 sizes.

The Kimberlee Pullover is worked seamlessly in the round from the top down with a textured shoulder, arm, and back panel. After the collar, the saddle shoulders are shaped by contiguous increases in every row, while the neck is shaped by short rows. Sleeve and body increases are worked up until the sleeve separation. The sleeve stitches are then placed on hold, underarm stitches are cast on, and you continue to work the body with increases to the bottom ribbing. After the body is completed, sleeve stitches are placed back on the needles and worked in the round from the top down to the cuff ribbing.

This has been tech edited and tested.
