This TBT design is a nod to an old 1980s rollneck but updated with a split hem, an easy lace + cable design at the sides, and a set-in sleeve that is worked simultaneously with the upper bodice. Loose fitting but not overly sized.
A photo tutorial guides you through the top-down construction for what is possibly the easiest set-in sleeve you’ll ever work--no sewing, no picking up stitches around the entire armhole, no short rows on the sleeve cap. Just carefully placed increases within the easy stockinette.
To maintain a seamless translation from the rolled neck trim and the bodice, you’ll be doing a provisional cast on--but no worries! It’s totally easy, too, and I’ve created a video tutorial showing you how (complete with a mispronunciation of the word “Provisional” . Hey, we’re a judgement-free zone here:)
The pullover is intended to be worn with 1-3” of positive ease (that is, 1” to 3” larger than your bust measurement).

Tell us what you think about it.
The pattern was detailed and easy to follow (also, thank you YouTube). My daughter tried the sweater on, I haven't seen it since! I have just started into this knitting thing recently and used an acrylic yarn from the thrift store for this experiment... would like to try this pattern again with different yarn. The shoulders don't lay flat at the shoulder/sleeve...could be due to yarn type or the way I picked up stritches...need to learn how to adjust pattern for fit also
