For A Good Egg

For a Good Egg is a delightful cropped pullover knitting pattern designed for knitters who enjoy a fun and engaging project. This pullover is worked from the top down, beginning with a cast-on at the shoulders. The pattern features innovative short row shaping, allowing for a beautifully contoured back neckline, which is then joined at the shoulders. From there, the back is knitted to the underarms, incorporating both back and front side shaping to create an elegant silhouette. Along the sloping front edge, you'll increase stitches leading to the hem, where stitches are held for later use.

The front panel is crafted by picking up stitches at each shoulder. In this section, you'll use charming stripes that seamlessly join at the base of the neckline and gracefully continue in a decreasing slope down to the hem, creating a visually striking effect. For the sleeves, stitches are picked up around the armholes and worked with short rows to the underarm. After that, you will transition to working in the round to the wrist, ensuring a comfortable and stylish fit.

To finish your lovely cropped pullover, an I-cord bind-off elegantly trims both the bodice and sleeve hems, while the neckline is refined with a classic 1x1 ribbing for added durability and style. This knitting pattern not only allows for a quick and enjoyable knitting experience but also results in a fashion-forward piece perfect for various occasions. Enjoy crafting your own For a Good Egg pullover!
