This classic, set in sleeve pullover is constructed from the top down. The front and back are knit flat until they’re joined at the underarm and the body is knit in the round. This sweater utilizes a short row cap sleeve so there’s no seaming! With a roomy fit and large tapered sleeves, you’ll be cozy and ready for fall.
This pattern is so special to me, because it was inspired by the wooly sweaters my dad wore when I was a kid. I hope this sweater feels to you as it does to me, like being wrapped up in a hug.
