This pattern is available on Ravelry . Grist offers a restrained take on traditional fishing sweaters, featuring ribbed shoulder epaulets and delicate, allover banded patterns that recall favorite ganseys of old. Despite its relaxed nature, the boxy silhouette cleverly conceals shaping details that preserve a flattering proportion and fit. Deep, sloping shoulder lines prevent the upper yoke from being overwhelmed with excess fabric, while optional subtle body shaping tailors the fit of the lower body. Construction Pullover is worked seamlessly from the top down. The back is worked flat to the underarm with increases to shape the shoulders and then placed on hold. Stitches are picked up for both fronts from back shoulders and worked flat simultaneously to the base of the neck, when fronts are joined and worked together flat to the underarm. The garment is folded along the shoulder and the front and back are joined into the round to be worked circularly for the remainder of the body. The body is worked circularly to the hem. Optional tapered body shaping may be worked during this time. Sleeve stitches are picked up around each armhole and the sleeves are worked circularly to the cuff. The sleeve shaping is worked according to knitter's preference for a classic- or slim-fit sleeve. The neckband is picked up and worked circularly. Collar may be worked as a standard crew neck, or a double-thick band by working twice the desired length and sewing down the live stitches to the WS of the garment.
