Straight, seamless pullover in two colors. Patterned with an olive branch that curves from hem to neckline on the front and an olive tree on the back, worked in the Armenian knitting stranded technique. One size but may be worked at a looser gauge for a larger size. 27” body length. Worked in the round from the bottom up with steeked armholes and neck. Sleeves picked up around armholes and knitted down to wrists in main color - in Armenian knitting but without patterning. Rolled hem and neck edging, narrow garter-stitch sleeve finish. Requires 13 balls of main color and 6 balls of contrast color. Color pattern is charted.
