Top-Down Cropped Pullover #171
This cozy sweater is the perfect layering piece to throw on over a tank top for added warmth during a cool summer evening. Whether you're enjoying a bonfire with friends or taking a stroll at sunset, this stylish pullover will keep you comfortable and looking fashionable. If you desire a longer fit, simply continue working until you achieve your preferred length, as this sweater is designed to be worked from the top down for maximum customization.
The pullover design begins at the back shoulders and is crafted from the top down, making it easy to tailor to your body shape. After completing the back section up to the armholes, it is placed on hold while the lighter front is seamlessly picked up from the back shoulders and worked down to match. Once both the back and front pieces reach the armholes, they are joined together, allowing you to work the body uninterrupted to the bottom edge. The sleeves are skillfully picked up from the armholes and worked down to the cuffs, incorporating short-row shaping to create beautiful sleeve caps that add a professional finishing touch.
This stunning openwork pattern allows for breathability and charm, making it a great addition to your knitwear collection. The detailed instructions are provided in both written and charted formats, catering to various knitting preferences and skill levels. Whether you're a beginner eager to learn or a seasoned pro looking for a quick project, this top-down sweater pattern offers versatility and style that will delight knitters of all abilities.
