A classic striped pullover to protect from the coastal chill, Elms will be an easy choice for both style and comfort. This project is a straightforward knit with the wide stripes providing easy progress points as you work soothing stockinette stitch. Pima Soft ensures that your finished pullover will be cool and comfortable to wear, with a silky-soft feel. Elms is knit in the round from the bottom up to the underarms, where the back and front are completed separately before being seamed together at the shoulders. Sleeve stitches are picked up around the armhole edge and worked down in the round to the cuff.
