Brandybuck
Tidy cables, stockinette stitch, and simple shaping make this elegant pullover a go-to choice for Autumn and Winter. A near-seamless construction makes it even easier and more interesting to knit, with only seams at the shoulders and one three-needle cast off at the back of the neck.

Construction and Pattern Notes:
The pullover is worked from the bottom up in the round, then split for the underarms and neck. Each piece is then worked separately and joined at the shoulders using a three-needle cast-off.
Sleeves are picked up from the armholes and worked from the top down. Varying lengths of short rows create a smoother (less pointy) cap. Sleeves are roomy; simply pick up fewer stitches if a more fitted sleeve is desired, reducing the number of short rows worked.
For ease of reading, instructions for each size are provided in table format. Find your finished bust circumference and read down the column for instructions for your size, highlighting your column, if desired.
