Ekubo

“Ekubo” – dimples in Japanese – is a comfortable boxy pullover with loose sleeves. Almost all the body is worked in textured Ekubo stitch. The pullover is worked from the top down. After casting on, the shoulders are shaped using German short rows. The front and back are then worked in Ekubo stitch, back and forth separately to the underarm, then joined to be worked in the round to the hem. Sleeves stitches are picked up around arm openings and worked from the top down in the round. The hem and cuffs are worked in 1x3 slip stitch rib, and all edgings are neatly finished with I-cord bind off.
