Adele pullover

THIS KNITTING PATTERN IS A DIGITAL DOWNLOAD IN PDF FORMAT AND IN ENGLISH ONLY!

The Adele pullover has a classic raglan shaping and minimalistic details. The pullover is knitted seamlessly top-down starting at the neckline. The neck is started flat and joined in the round after the front neck shaping is completed. The sleeves and body are separated at the underarm and knitted separately. Lastly the neckband is picked up from the body and knitted in the round. The pattern has four options for the neck: a short neck, folded neck, funnel neck and turtleneck, as well as the option of working the ribbing in normal 1x1 rib or in twisted rib.
