#28 Basketweave Pullover- Child & Adult Sweater
Welcome to your next favorite knitting project! This versatile basic pullover features stylish drop sleeves and an easy-to-follow basketweave yoke, making it perfect for knitters of all skill levels. Designed to fit the whole family, this pattern accommodates sizes starting from 6 months up to a comfortable 54 inches for adults. The pullover is constructed by knitting the front and back pieces separately, after which the shoulders are sewn together. Sleeve stitches are then picked up around the armhole, allowing you to knit the sleeves downwards. This drop sleeve technique simplifies the process, eliminating the need to sew in the sleeves later—perfect for those who prefer an easier, more efficient knit!
