**Materials Needed:**
To knit the collared pullover, you will need D.K. weight yarn, with approximately 120 yards per 50 gm skein. The model pictured uses Debbie Bliss Merino DK yarn for a luxurious feel. You will also require one set each of US 3, US 4, and US 5 needles, along with a 16” US 3 round needle for the neckline. Don’t forget some stitch holders and a crochet hook size E for finishing.

**Joining and Edging:**
For a professional finish, I prefer to join the knitted pieces and reinforce the edges with crochet. This technique not only produces sturdy seams but also results in firm and durable edges, enhancing the overall look and longevity of your garment.

**Gauge Information:**
To achieve the right fit, ensure your gauge is:
- **Stitch gauge:** 6 stitches = 1 inch
- **Row gauge:** 28 rows = 3 inches (approximately 9.4 rows per inch), knitted on US 5 needles.
- *Note: This sweater uses smaller needles than typically recommended for this weight yarn, which contributes to a better-fitting and longer-lasting garment.*

**Construction Details:**
This beautifully designed pullover features sleeves that are knitted from the shoulders down to the cuff, providing a seamless construction that enhances comfort and style. The stockinette stitch gauge remains consistent at 6 stitches per inch on US 5 needles, ensuring a smooth and easy knitting experience throughout your project.

Enjoy the delightful process of crafting your very own collared pullover—a timeless piece that combines elegance with everyday wearability. Whether you are gifting it to someone special or keeping it for yourself, this pattern is sure to become a staple in your knitting repertoire!
