Elodea children pullover

This delightful pullover is expertly designed to be worked from the top-down, making it an ideal project for knitters looking to expand their skills. The pattern begins with a provisional cast-on for the neckline, ensuring a neat finish. Incorporating short rows, this pullover elevates the shoulders while shaping the back neckline, skillfully incorporating shoulder shaping increases simultaneously. Once the required shoulder length is reached, the front and back portions of the pullover are worked separately until the underarms, allowing for precise fit and construction. After completing the yoke, the knitting seamlessly transitions to a round format, with additional stitches cast on for the underarm area. The body of the pullover is then crafted until it reaches the elegant i-cord edge, providing a polished touch. For the sleeves, stitches are skillfully picked up around the armholes, giving you the option to create a slight bell sleeve or a classic straight sleeve, depending on your style preference. The sleeves are worked in the round using stockinette stitch until you reach the cuff, adding to the overall comfort and flow of the garment. After the knitting is complete, the provisional cast-on for the neckline is unraveled, allowing for a refined finish with an i-cord bind-off. This beautiful pullover features a slightly oversized fit, with approximately 15 cm / 6 in of positive ease, making it perfect for layering or cozy wear. Pullover chest measurements: 24¼-27½-28¼ (29½-30¾-31¼) 32¾-34-34½-36½ in. This pattern is perfect for both beginner and experienced knitters looking to create a stylish and versatile piece for their wardrobe.
