What could be better than a cozy pullover for those brisk Fall and Winter days?

Staycation is a drop-shoulder pullover, knit from the top down, sporting a garter ridge mock neck. Two strands of DK weight yarn, in complimentary colorways, are held together throughout to create a playful marl and provide a comfy sweater you will want to grab for time and again.

Pattern Construction & Details
Staycation Pullover is worked from the top down allowing you to try on as you go! This design is worked in two strands of DK yarn held together throughout (equivalent of a light bulky yarn) to create a marl.
Staycation Pullover features a cozy mock neck and offers two sleeve options – sleeveless or long sleeve.
This design does not contain waist shaping.

Sizing Information
1 (2, 3, 4, 5) (6, 7, 8, 9)
Designed to fit with recommended positive ease of 4 – 12” / 10 - 30 cm. Select a “Finished Bust” circumference size which is 4 – 12” / 10 - 30 cm larger than your actual bust measurement, per ease preference.
#sizeinclusive

Fit Reference: The sample shown is size 2 and reflects 4.5” / 11 cm positive ease for my 36” / 91 cm bust.

Note: Due to the nature of drop shoulder construction, the “sleeveless” option provides a cap or short sleeve. The higher the amount of positive ease, the lower the sleeve seam/edge will fall at the upper arm.

Finished Circumference at Bust
36.5 (40.5, 44.5, 48.5, 53) (58, 63, 68, 72)” / 93 (103, 113, 123, 135) (147, 160, 173, 183) cm
