Bulky V Neck Pullover



This is the Bulky V Neck Pullover from Knitting Pure & Simple. I used Naturwolle from Austermann, color 03. I loved the method -- top down, all on circs. This is the sweater I completed three times. The first try looked like a maternity sweater (and if there was any hope of that I may have left it that way). So I ripped it out, added darts for shaping, and decided against the side slits. The final product doesn't look much like the pic on the pattern, but it fits nicely. I especially like the neck edge and raglan shaping. This was the first time I did the math on a sweater to fit it to me and I'm happy with the time and effort... A wonderful learning experience and a nice sweater, to boot.
