Shray

This is a drop-shoulder pullover worked from the bottom up and in the round until the underarm. The back and front are then worked flat and shoulders are joined using the 3-needle bind off. Stitches are then picked up around the armholes to work the sleeves in the round. Finally, stitches are picked up around the neck for a neckband. A twisted stitch motif is worked over the lower section of the body and sleeves, while slipped stitches columns add texture to the upper section of the body.
