Nordby Pullover knittingforolive_new

Nordby Pullover is a simple striped staple sweater for babies and children worked from the top down using 1 strand of Merino or Cotton Merino. The pullover can be worked in a multiple of color combinations, making it a perfect project for using up some of your leftover yarn. The three smallest sizes have a small split in back neck that is closed with a button. You start working the shoulders and the front and back, back and forth, before continuing in the round for the body. You pick up stitches for the sleeves and work these in the round. Ribbed edges finish the neckline, body and sleeves.
