Rerelax

Introducing "Rerelax," the innovative top-down version of the beloved Relax pullover, originally published in 2013. This stylish and cozy boxy pullover is expertly crafted from the top down, making it an ideal project for knitters looking for a seamless construction experience.

The design begins with a provisional cast-on for both the front and back sections, utilizing German short rows to artfully shape the shoulders. As you progress, you’ll work the fronts and backs separately until you reach the underarm. At this point, the two halves are joined, allowing you to continue knitting the body in the round all the way to the hem for a polished finish.

Once you complete the body, the shoulders are elegantly seamed together using a three-needle bind-off method, ensuring a sturdy and refined edge. The final touch involves picking up stitches for the sleeves, which are then knitted in the round from the top down, creating a harmonious flow throughout the entire pullover.

Whether you're a seasoned knitter or a beginner eager to try your hand at top-down designs, Rerelax offers a fulfilling project that combines comfort and style.
