Basic V Neck Pullover

**This pattern INCLUDES instructions for four different yarn weights: fingering, dk, worsted and bulky/chunky.** A raglan-shaped pullover with a flattering neckline that's neither too high nor too low. Moderate ease in the bodice and sleeves provides a casual fit which makes for easy layering both under and over. No shaping at the waist and a length that hits just below the hip create a classic shape. Finished garment is designed to have approximately 4-6 in / 10-15 cm of positive ease across the widest part of the torso. If you prefer more or less ease, you can size up or down based on the desired finished measurements.
