Park Bench Pullover
The Park Bench Pullover is a stylish knitting pattern that features elegant horizontal accent lines, reminiscent of the classic slats found on traditional park benches. This pullover combines timeless design with modern comfort, making it the perfect addition to your fall wardrobe. Ideal for those chilly early autumn days when a T-shirt is too light, or perfect to layer over a long-sleeve tee for warmth during cold winter months, this versatile piece is an excellent choice for casual outings or cozy evenings at home. The fit is thoughtfully designed to be slightly oversized and boxy, ensuring you stay comfortable while looking effortlessly chic.
This delightful short-sleeve pullover is expertly knit in the round, from the bottom-up, in one seamless piece, offering a clean and polished finish. The shoulders are beautifully shaped using short rows, providing a flattering silhouette that works well for all body types. Once the body is completed, the sleeves and neck band are picked up and knit, adding to the overall charm of this classic design.
