This is the Kenner Street Pullover. It's top-down and totally seamless, with short-row shoulders, set-in sleeves, and a lace panel running down the back, just for something fun. From the front: basic V-neck pullover. From the back: BOOM, lace!
Construction details: This sweater starts with a provisional cast on of the back stitches. The back is worked down to the underarms, then put on hold while stitches are picked up from each shoulder for the fronts. The fronts and back are joined at the underarms and worked straight down with no waist shaping to the bottom ribbing. Stitches are picked up for set-in sleeves. The sleeve cap is created with short rows, then the sleeves are worked down to the ribbing.
The body has no shaping for an easy, casual fit, but you can easily add some waist shaping. Sleeve lengths are easy to customize- try 3/4 or half sleeves to make the sweater more versatile for warmer weather.
The pattern calls for DK weight yarn. I used Knit Picks Gloss DK, a very soft blend of silk and merino. The sample shown is size 34.5, worn with about 2 inches of negative ease. The sample took about 7 balls of Gloss DK.
