The Cozy Fit Pullover's got that warm and comfy borrowed sweater feeling. Knit from the top down, it's worked back and forth for some rows until the remainder of the center front neckline stitches are cast on and the garment is knit in the round thereafter. A tidy folded-down neckline is worked by picking up the stitches where you cast on, working in rib and binding off while attaching to inside base of neckline.

Please note: Returns or refunds are not available for digital files.

Pattern Notes

This sweater is knit from the top down. Stitches are cast on at the neckline and knit back and forth for some rows before casting on the remaining center front stitches and continuing on knitting in the round. When knitting back and forth (knit one row, purl one row) in stockinette stitch, one's gauge tends to be a little looser because of the purl stitches therefore it may be necessary to go down a needle size for this portion.

What kind of yarn do I need?
