The Weaving Diamonds pullover reminds me of the romantic ideas I had of campus life before I went to University. Maybe its what I thought I would wear, perhaps along with something tweed, while having an earnest debate.

My life no longer has many earnest debates, but it definitely has room for more scholarly sweaters.

Weaving Diamonds Pullover is based on the same charted stitch pattern as the Weaving Diamonds Toque and Cowl, but in the pullover there are no RS purl sts. The body of the pullover is worked from the bottom up, so that the stitch pattern is familiar and well established before shaping for the yokes is completed. The front and back yokes are worked separately and flat from the underarm to the shoulders. The sleeves are worked in stockinette from the top down, with the sleeve cap shaped with short rows.
