Escalier Pullover

This relaxed pullover is worked in an all-over textured pattern that's fun to work and easy to follow. Set-in sleeves, subtle waist shaping, and a graceful V-neck create a flattering fit. The body of the sweater is worked in the round, then the sleeves are also worked in the round and seamed into the armholes. The neckline is a simple round of single crochet worked after seaming. Seams are used only in the most important spots to provide longevity - the shoulders and armholes - creating a garment that will won't stretch out, but doesn't require too much finishing.
