Guilford Guernsey Pullover for the Family: 16 Sizes Included
Introducing the charming Guilford Guernsey pullover, a beautifully crafted knitting pattern inspired by classic Guernsey designs. This versatile pattern is ideal for knitters of all skill levels and offers sizing options for the entire family, ranging from infants at 6 months to adults. With a total of 16 sizes included, you can create matching pullovers for everyone! The design features a straightforward construction method: the front and back panels are knit separately, and the shoulder seams are sewn together for a neat finish. The sleeve stitches are picked up from the shoulder and knitted downwards, streamlining the finishing process. Say goodbye to the hassle of setting in sleeves—simply seam from the sleeve cuff to the body cuff for a quick and satisfying project.
