9724 A New Neckdown Pullover for Women
WEB EXCLUSIVE

"This basic rolled edge pullover is an updated version of my most popular pattern," says Soucy. "It has optional side shaping and has smaller finished chest measurements. Sizes x-small through xx-large." Thousands of knitters would dread life sans Soucy, and this is an example why: it is so clean and spare a design, so pure and uncluttered, that it shows off both your form and a yarn's fine qualities perfectly. The classic look will change considerably depending on the yarn choice; luckily this is a very common gauge in North America. Top down, no sewing, all circular knitting-- what more is there to want? A baby version-- for 6 - 24 months-- is available here.

Soucy offers a very detailed, illustrated knit-along guide to her top-down sweaters here.
