This one combines structural twisted stitches with an oversized shape that is easy to wear.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe pullover is worked in the round from the bottom up, with twisted stitch panels centred over the front and back. The body is shaped to accommodate the modified dropped sleeve construction and, after dividing for the underarms, the front and back are worked separately back and forth. The back scye is worked longer than the front, to raise the fit around the neck and shoulders, and the shoulder slopes are shaped with a series of short rows worked back and forth in stocking stitch. After the shoulders are joined with a three needle bind off, stitches are picked up around the armscyes to work each sleeve from the top down. A few rounds of rib around the neckline completes the pullover.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe panel charts are worked in the round from right to left, from the hem to the underarms, and then back and forth through the upper body, reading right side rows from right to left and wrong side rows from left to right.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe have put this kit together in \u003cstrong\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/theorrymill.co.uk\/products\/orry-yarn-merino-dk\" title=\"Merino DK by Orry Yarn\"\u003eOrry Yarn Merino DK\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e – 50g \/ 115m.
