Ponyo children sweater

ConstructionThe pullover is worked seamlessly in brioche stitch from the top to bottom, starting from cast-on for the shoulders. The slightly sloped shoulders are shaped by short rows firstly for the back and worked to the underarms, then stitches are picked up for each front shoulder separately and short rows are worked for the best shape. The neckline is shaped in parallel with increases, then remaining front stitches are cast-on and worked to the underarms. When necessary length is achieved, the work is split again for the hems which end with 2x2 ribbing. The sleeve stitches are picked around the armholes and slightly shaped with the short rows. Turtleneck is worked last in 2x2 ribbing to double-length.
