Design:
This pullover has saddle shoulders, and modified drop shoulders. It is meant to fit with some ease (approximately 2-7 inches), but exactly how much is up to you! The pattern includes a schematic diagram with detailed measurements to help you decide.

The measurements shown above are the finished sweater circumferences. (So if your actual chest measures 42 inches for example, the Size M2 would have 2.5 inches of ease on you.)

Construction:
It is worked seamlessly from the top down. The collar is knit in the round first, then each saddle shoulder is knit flat. Stitches are picked up along the sides of the saddle shoulders, and short rows are used to shape the shoulders and front neckline. The front and back body stitches are joined at the underarms and knit in the round.

Stitches for the sleeves are picked up along the vertical edges of the front and back and short rows are used to shape the sleeve caps, and then the sleeves are knit in the round.

The pattern includes diagrams to help visualize the construction.

Yarn:
Any DK yarn (or multiple strands of thinner yarns) that knits to the pattern gauge can be used.
