PATTERN INFORMATION

The Louise pullover has a boxy fit and dropped shoulders. It is knitted seamlessly top-down with a lace and cable pattern on the front and the sleeves. The pullover is started at the back neck and increased to the full width of the back. Then stitches are picked up for the shoulders and worked as the front of the pullover.

The front and back are joined at the underarm and the body is then worked in the round. The stitches for the sleeves are picked up from the body and the sleeves are worked in the round with a bit of short-row shaping at the sleeve caps to improve the fit. Lastly, stitches for the neckband are picked up from the neck opening and worked in ribbing in the round.

The neckband, hem and cuffs are finished with a tubular bind off, which provides a beautiful and stretchy edge that looks like the stitches roll over the edge to the other side of the ribbing.
