Gauge:

14 Sts by 6.5 rows= 4×4”

To make a gauge swatch, work 22 Fsc then complete rows 2-8. Measure within the swatch to check your gauge.

Sizes:

XS(S, M, L, XL, 2X, 3X, 4X, 5X)

Notes:

This sweater is made in 4 separate panels. After seaming you will add the bottom hem and collar.

The starting Ch 3 counts as 1 Dc St.

The neckline shaping instructions are split into separate sections, depending on your size. XS(M, XL, 3X, 5X) are in one section and S(L, 2X, 4X) are in another section. Be aware of the change in sizes listed and be sure to follow the correct set of instructions for your size below.

To adjust the length of your sweater repeat or remove row repeats 3&4 as many times as desired before fastening off the back panel. Add or remove the same amount of rows to your front panel before you begin the neckline shaping. Take into account this will affect the yardage requirements.

To adjust the length of your sleeve, add or remove row repeats 3 & 4 before beginning the “cuff” (final 3 rows) section. Take into account this will affect the yardage requirements.

Pattern:

Back Panel-

Row 1(RS): 64(71, 78, 85, 92, 99, 106, 113, 120) Fsc, turn. Alternatively you can Ch 1 more than the number listed above, work 1 Sc into the second Ch from the hook and each Ch across for the same St count. (64(71, 78, 85, 92, 99, 106, 113, 120) Sc)

Row 2: Ch 3 (counts as 1 Dc here and throughout), *[Sk the next St, 1 Dc into the next 2 Sts, go back and work 1 Dc into the skipped St] twice, 1 Dc into next St*, repeat from * to * across row, turn. (64(71, 78, 85, 92, 99, 106, 113, 120) Dc)

Row 3: Ch 3, [Sk the next St, 1 Dc into the next 2 Sts, go back and work 1 Dc into the skipped St] twice, *1 Fpdc around next St, [Sk the next St, 1 Dc into the next 2 Sts, go back and work 1 Dc into the skipped St] twice,* repeat from * to * across row until 1 St remains, 1 Dc in final St, turn. (64(71, 78, 85, 92, 99, 106, 113, 120) Dc)

Row 4: Ch 3, [Sk the next St, 1 Dc into the next 2 Sts, go back and work 1 Dc into the skipped St] twice, *1 Bpdc around next St, [Sk the next St, 1 Dc into the next 2 Sts, go back and work 1 Dc into the skipped St] twice,* repeat from * to * across row until 1 St remains, 1 Dc in final St, turn.

Rows 5-33(33, 35, 35, 37, 37, 39, 39, 41): Repeat Rows 3 & 4.

Fasten off.

Front Panel-

Repeat Rows 1-28(28, 30, 30, 32, 32, 34, 34, 36) of the back panel. We will now be splitting and shaping the neckline. The shaping of the neckline instructions will be split into 2 separate sets of instructions. One set for sizes XS(M, XL, 3X, 5X) only and the second set for S(L, 2X, 4X) only. Be aware of the change in sizes listed and be sure to follow the correct set of instructions for your size below. If you adjusted the length of your back panel, add or remove the same amount of rows here before moving on to the shoulder shaping.

Fasten off, leave a long tail for seaming arm.

Note- This is a drop-shoulder style pullover. The wider the front/back panels are, the shorter the sleeve needs to be because they join further down your bicep. That’s why the smaller sizes have more rows than the larger. You an easily adjust your sleeve length by adding or taking away as many rows as needed before beginning the “cuff” rows.

Assembly-

Block your panels to the measurements listed above. I recommend a steam block.

Place your front and back panels together RS facing.

Using your preferred seaming method attach the front panel to the back panel at the shoulders. I used my needle and mattress stitch but you can use any preferred seaming method. Be sure your panels are aligned and that you aren’t bunching or skipping stitches.

Next, using the same joining process as above, we will be attaching the sleeves to the sweater. Make sure the center of the sleeve is aligned with the shoulder seam. Be sure to check that your sleeves are even on both the front and back panel as you go. It is helpful to use SM’s here to

keep your sleeve in place as you join.

Finally, fold your pullover so that the back and front panels are on top of each other, RS facing. Seam from the cuffs to the underarm and down the side of the pullover. Leave approximately 2” left un-sewn on both sides of the bottom of the sweater.
