Texture
Texture is a marriage of some of my favorite sweater elements: top down raglan-style seamless sleeves, all over easy to knit texture, and a split hem + sleeve detail. This pullover adds effortless style to any outfit and knits up quickly in a worsted weight gauge whether you knit it cropped or long, with short or long sleeves. Sample is shown in size 2 with approximately 1.5"/4 cm positive ease. Choose a size that is 1-4"/2.5-10 cm larger than actual chest measurement. Pattern is written for knitters comfortable tracking an easy stitch pattern while increasing & decreasing, along with techniques such as provisional cast-on & short row shaping. Instructions are provided for these techniques.
