A relaxed pullover in an all-over Garter Rib texture which follows the refined lines of its top-down contiguous set-in sleeve construction (step-by-step diagrams are included).

The Garter rib stitch is more drapey and easier to knit compared to a regular rib (less purling!) while adding extra texture.

The construction creates a fitted sleeve look with a comfortable positive ease fit for the chest with approx. 8-10’’/20-25 cm recommended ease at the chest. It also allows for Spiral Grain color changes to line up throughout the yoke.

If you have a chest that is proportionally larger compared to your shoulder width measurement, consider choosing a size with less than recommended ease at the chest for a better fit at the shoulders - based on your shoulder width and armhole depth and sleeve circumference.
