THIS KNITTING PATTERN IS A DIGITAL DOWNLOAD IN PDF FORMAT AND IN ENGLISH ONLY! The Acorn pullover has a relaxed fit with dropped shoulders. It is knitted seamlessly top down with an allover lace pattern that looks like rows of acorns. The lace pattern is a lot easier than it first appears and is suitable for knitters who are just learning to knit lace. The Acorn pullover is started at the back neck and then increased to the full width of the back. After that stitches are picked up along the sloped shoulders for the fronts. The pieces are joined at the underarm and the body is then knitted in the round. The sleeve stitches are then picked up from the body and worked in the round. The length of the body and sleeves are easily modified to suit your own body measurements. I recommend trying the pullover on every now and then while working on it to make sure you get the perfect length for your style.
