Belle & Sebastian pullover

The Belle & Sebastian pullover has a relaxed, boyfriend-sweater fit. It is knitted seamlessly top down. The beautiful cable pattern is worked on the front and the back as well as on the sleeves. The piece is started at the back neck and then increased to the full width of the back. After that stitches are picked up along the sloped shoulders for the fronts. The pieces are joined at the underarm and the body is then knitted in the round. The sleeve and the neckband stitches are then picked up from the body and worked in the round. The length of the body and sleeves are easily modified to suit your own body measurements. I recommend trying the sweater on every now and then while working on it to make sure you get the perfect length for your style.
