Construction:
- Audrey’s Pullover is knit all in one piece from the top-down and features raglan construction to shape the yoke.
- It’s worked flat in the beginning as the neckline is shaped, and then joined to work in the round.
- Sleeves are split at the underarm and body is worked in one piece to the hem with options to either work no body shaping or A-line shaping.
- Front & Back hems are split and worked separately to create split high/low hemline.
- Sleeves are transferred to DPNs (or you can use 32”/80 cm circ for magic loop method) and worked in the round to the cuff.
- Stitches are picked up along the neckline and worked in a mitered rib stitch to create the trim.
