The Hug

Have you ever seen someone you care about wearing something you knitted for them and felt an overwhelming sense of love, as if you were giving them a warm hug from afar? This pullover captures that heartfelt sentiment perfectly—it's designed to gift a cozy, affectionate embrace to your loved ones, no matter the distance between you. Perfect for chilly days, this beautifully crafted pullover will make a cherished addition to anyone's wardrobe.

This pullover is expertly knitted top-down in the round, beginning with a provisional cast on to create a stylish folded collar. To ensure a comfortable fit, short rows (optional) can be incorporated to subtly shape the neckline. The charming pocket is ingeniously knitted simultaneously and integrated seamlessly into the design, eliminating any need for sewing. To make your knitting experience smoother, I've included informative photos and video tutorials that guide you through the trickier sections of the pattern.

When selecting the size you wish to knit, please consider the actual chest measurement and allow for 10-20 cm/4-8 inches of positive ease for that relaxed, comfy fit. This pullover is not just a fashion statement; it's a wearable expression of love and warmth.
