Bowhall

CONSTRUCTION

• The body of this pullover is worked circularly in one piece from the hem to the underarms. The back and front are then divided and worked separately to the shoulders. The neck and shoulders are shaped using German Short Rows, and the shoulders are joined using Joinery Bind Off. Stitches are picked up from the armholes for the sleeves, which are worked circularly to the cuff.
• This garment’s construction allows for a mixing- and-matching of body and sleeve sizes to tailor fit; see Schematic for dimensions.
