About this Design
The Star Catcher Pullover is constructed in two panels from the bottom up, seamed together, with sleeves crocheted onto the body of the sweater. Sleeve ribbing is worked using pre-attached yarn while the neckline and hemline ribbing are worked using new yarn. Ribbing is a simple Tunisian crochet stitch which is great for beginners just starting out!
