Sandro Pullover V-neck

The Sandro Pullover V-neck is worked from the top down with a drop shoulder construction. You start by casting on the back and shaping it with short rows for a better fit. Work the back yoke until it reaches the underarms. After this, each shoulder is worked back and forth and shaped with short row shaping. Then you increase for the v neckline until you are ready to join everything in the round. The sleeves are worked from stitches that are picked up and knit along the armhole edge and they are shaped using short rows. The neck edge is worked up in ribbing with stitches picked up along the neckline. There are two options in the pattern: one for a thin neckband or for a thick neckband, there are also instructions to add contrast colour stripes. I recommend you begin by knitting a swatch to determine which needle size you need to achieve the correct gauge. Note: Size 10 has not been properly tested because I didn’t find any testers, so if it is your size and you want to knit the pattern, reach out to me so I can give you the pattern for free in exchange for feedbacks. **Size guide:** The Sandro Pullover is designed to have approximately 26.5 - 33 cm [10 ½ - 13 inches] of positive ease, meaning it is designed to be 26.5 - 33 cm [10 ½ - 13 inches] bigger than your bust circumference.
