The Very Snug pullover is an illusion sweater- by picking up stitches with the contrast color and working additional knitting after the main color sweater is complete, Very Snug creates the illusion over a scoop neck pullover worn layered over a hoodie.

The sweater is cast on with the MC at the top and the neckline shaping is worked flat before joining in the round to complete the raglan shaped body. Sleeves are knit in the round from the underarm to the cuff before you move on to the neckline. After the knitting for the sweater is complete stitches are picked up with the CC at the cuffs, hem and neckline to create the illusion of two sweaters worn simultaneously.
