Elizabeth Pullover

The Elizabeth Pullover is a cozy, oversized sweater, it is knit flat, first working the back panel and then picking up stitches along the shoulders to create a seamless look. German short rows are worked to shape the shoulders and the rest of the panel is worked, adding the cow motif in the middle of the front panel. After seaming the sides together, stitches are picked up for each sleeve and knit in the round.
