Mercer Pullover

**Meet the Mercer:** a saddle shoulder garment with cozy rolled hem details. This pattern is worked from the top-down and includes the option to make as a long sleeve pullover or as a sleeveless slipover. If you're dreaming about soft and lightweight knits, this one is just for you. The Mercer Pullover is knit at a larger gauge to create a fabric with the most dreamy drape. For the best outcome, use fingering and lace weight yarns held together or a DK weight suri alpaca yarn. The Mercer Pullover was named after the iconic Mercer Street in New York's SoHo neighborhood, a vibrant hub for fashion and art. - **SIZES** 1, 2, 3 (4, 5, 6) (7, 8, 9) Finished Bust Circumference: 36”, 40”, 44” (48”, 52”, 56”) (60”, 64”, 68”) / 91.5, 101.5, 112 (122, 132, 142) (152.5, 162.5, 172.5) cm Recommended Ease: 6” to 9” / 15 to 23 cm of positive ease around the bust.
