CONSTRUCTION

• The body of this pullover is worked flat in pieces from side-to-side. The shoulders and side seams are sewn together and then the sleeves are picked up and worked circularly down to the cuff.
• As the garment is worked sideways, three length options are provided: 24¼“/61.5 cm for Version I, 27¼“/69 cm for Version II, and 30¼“/77 cm for Version III. In general, Version I is recommended for Sizes 1-3 and/or those who prefer a shorter body length, Version II is recommended for Sizes 4–7 or those who wish to have a mid-range length, and Version III is for Sizes 8–11 or those who prefer a longer length.
• This garment’s construction allows for a mixing-and-matching of body and sleeve sizes to tailor fit; see Schematic for dimensions.
