Breathe Easy

Introducing the Breathe Easy Pullover: a stylish and comfortable boxy drop shoulder pullover that’s perfect for knitters of all levels. This quick knit pattern is designed to be worked from the bottom up, making it easy to follow along. The body of the pullover is provisionally cast on at the high hip and worked in the round until you reach the armholes. After this, the provisional stitches are cleverly picked up, allowing you to work the front and back flat separately. This unique construction creates an elegant side slit while ensuring the back is longer than the front for a modern silhouette. With approximately 10 inches of ease in the body, the Breathe Easy is perfect for layering or wearing on its own. The sleeves are designed to be close-fitting, striped, and full-length, adding a fun and cozy touch to this stylish piece. Knit the sleeves in the round down to the cuff for a seamless finish.

Finished Bust Measurements: 42 (46, 50, 54, 58)” or (107 (117, 127, 137, 147) cm), accommodating a wide range of sizes to fit various body types comfortably.
