Nordic simplicity for cooler days. This pullover is worked from the top down, with a minimum of finishing. It begins with the cast-on and a rolled neck/collar. Two shoulder panels are worked out from the collar and then stitches are picked up along each panel for the back and then front to be knitted downwards. The two main pieces are joined and the body is knitted in the round with a finishing ribbed edge. The sleeves are worked downwards from stitches picked up and knitted around the armholes and later finished with ribbed cuffs. We used the Italian cast-on and bind-off techniques, but, you can alternately use long-tail cast-on and a regular bind-off, if you prefer.
