The pullover does not have classic front and back parts, but is symmetrical: This allows for even wear of the material.
The sweater is worked flat and consists of 4 parts that are then sewn together. Only the collar is worked in rounds.

If the colour gradient is not important, one bobble of Bobbel Cotton is sufficient.
