Flock Pullover
Flock Pullover
After I finished the Flock Vest, I knew I needed a pullover version as well! The Flock Pullover includes clever top-down construction, combining a saddle and drop shoulder and a gentle drop hem, with playful stripes to create a fun new wardrobe staple for your closet!
This sweater is knit from the top down (meaning you can try it on as you go and add length to suit your own personal style!), beginning with the the saddle shoulder, then picking up stitches for the back & fronts separately. Once the yoke is completed, we will join to work the body in the round. Thanks to the saddle construction, there is a gentle drop hem of approx. 1.5”/4 cm in the back. The sleeve stitches are picked up from the armhole openings and worked in the round, for a totally seamless sweater!
