This pattern also comes in a pullover sweater version.

Visiting is a textured cardigan with a high V-neck for warmth and a semi shawl collar for snuggle. The body is worked flat from the hem upwards. The shoulders are joined using a 3-Needle Bind-Off and the sleeves are then picked up and knitted downwards to the cuff, with decreases and short row shaping at the sleevehead to reduce fabric bulk.
