Bayr is a classic men’s pullover that highlights a motif along the top. Cleverly using the nature of the different gauges between the Stockinette stitch body and the Twisted Stitch Yoke, the Bayr pullover naturally forms a slightly inset, square armhole.

Worked in the round from the bottom up, the sweater is then split and worked flat at the armholes and rejoined at the shoulders. The sleeves are picked up around the armhole and worked to the cuff, incorporating the underarm stitches similar to working a sock heel.
