Description
Maximum Oversleeve is a fingering weight pullover with MAXIMUM sleeves!
This dolman-inspired sweater is worked seamlessly from the top down, with a deep V-neck and seed stitch button placket. The back begins at the shoulders, which are shaped with short rows before being joined to work the upper back to the armhole. The fronts are then picked up and knit down to the placket, where they are overlapped and joined.
The front and back are worked flat for the ultra deep armholes, then joined to work the body in the round. The body is finished with a deep knit-in hem.
The sleeves are picked up and worked in the round, decreasing to the cuff without restricting your range of motion. Sleeves are finished with a straight cuff and narrow knit-in hem.
