This is a great sweater to throw on over a tank top for extra warmth on a cool summer evening. If you would prefer a longer sweater, you can just keep working until it’s the length you want, since the sweater is worked from the top-down.
This pullover is worked from the top down, beginning at the back shoulders. The back is worked to the armholes, then placed on hold while the front is picked up from the back shoulders and worked to the armholes. Then the back and front are joined and the body is worked to the bottom edge. The sleeves are picked up from the armholes and worked to the cuffs, with short-row shaping to shape the sleeve caps.
The openwork pattern is presented in both written and charted formats.
