**Get an introductory 20% discount using the code MYHYPHEN20 at checkout until September 6th, 2026 end of day.** A baby/child version of this pattern, Hyphen Pullover, is [available here][1]. ~~ The Hyphen Pullover for adults is finally here! Here is a wonderfully straightforward staple that everyone needs in their wardrobe. This pattern features a circular yoke/raglan hybrid construction that is both easy to work and ensures a great fit for everyone. Make a cute cropped version to layer over long-waisted pants or dresses, or make a full-length version for a cozy no-fuss everyday pullover. The pattern contains lots of helpful tips for a crisp finish and crystal-clear explanations, including an optional section to raise the back neck of the sweater using short rows (with my special trick to make that pesky "last double stitch" truly disappear.) ~~ **PATTERN NOTES:** This garment is knit seamlessly from the top down, featuring textured accents around the yoke. The yoke features a hybrid circular/raglan construction for an optimal fit. Short rows can also be worked to raise the back neck if desired (optional, detailed instructions provided). The yoke is worked in the round to the underarms, then the sleeves are put on hold, and the body is worked in the round to the hem. Two body lengths are suggested: cropped or full length. Lastly, the sleeve stitches are returned to the needles and worked in the round. **SKILLS REQUIRED:** Casting on, knitting, purling, increasing, decreasing, knitting in the round, picking up stitches, binding off. **SIZES:** **XS (S, M, L // XL, 2XL, 3XL, 4XL, 5XL)** **To fit chest:** 28-32 (32-36, 36-40, 40-44 // 44- 48, 48-52, 52-56, 56-60, 60-64) inches or 71-81.5 (81.5-91.5, 91.5-101.5, 101.5-112 // 112-122, 122-132, 132-142, 142-152.5, 152.5-162.5) cm **Garment chest at underarms:** 33.5 (37.75, 41.5, 45.75 // 49.5, 53.75, 57.5, 61, 65.5) inches or 85 (96, 105.5, 116 // 125.5, 136.5, 146, 155, 166.5) cm Sizing tip: In general it’s best to go by the recipient’s actual chest measurement instead of the size label.
