The Saltbox Pullover is worked from the top down, casting on at the neck back, increasing for shoulder shaping then the back is worked to the underarm. The fronts are picked up at the shoulders and joined after the neck shaping then worked down until the front matches the back. The front and back are joined with a narrow underarm cast on and knit down in the round. The sleeves are picked up and a shallow sleeve cap is created with short rows then the sleeve is knit down in the round. The short rows are optional. The collar is picked up and worked in the round with three suggested length options.
