NOTES

  • This pullover is worked in the round from the top down with raglan shaping.
  • The Sand Dollar chart decreases some stitches at the beginning of the repeat and increases at the end of the repeat. At the end of Row 1, there are only 10 stitches per pattern repeat; this increases back to 12 stitches on Row 2. I recommend using additional markers to keep track every few pattern repeats, and paying careful attention to the chart and how it aligns with the previous round as you work.
  • On some rounds of the Mesh pattern, when working with double-pointed needles, the last stitch on the needle will have to be transferred to the next needle in order to continue in pattern.
  • Slip stitches knitwise with yarn in back.
  • Change to longer circular needle when necessary
