Materials Needed

• Yarn: Worsted weight, 100% wool
• Needles: US 9 (5.5mm) circular needles
• Gauge: 16 stitches and 22 rows = 4 inches in stockinette stitch

Step-by-Step Instructions

Back Panel

1. Begin by casting on 80 (90, 100) stitches using your US 9 circular needles.
2. Work in garter stitch (knit every row) for 2 inches. This creates a nice border at the bottom of your pullover.
3. After completing the garter stitch, switch to stockinette stitch (knit one row, purl the next) and continue knitting until the piece measures 28 (30, 32) inches from the cast-on edge.
4. Once the desired length is reached, bind off all stitches loosely to ensure the edge remains flexible.

Front Panel

1. Cast on 80 (90, 100) stitches, just like you did for the back panel.
2. Work in garter stitch for 2 inches.
3. Switch to stockinette stitch and knit until the piece measures 20 (22, 24) inches from the cast-on edge.
4. To shape the neckline, bind off the center 20 (22, 24) stitches. You will now work each side of the front panel separately.
5. On each side, decrease 1 stitch at the neck edge every other row, for a total of 5 times.
6. Continue knitting until the front panel matches the back panel in length.
7. Finally, bind off all stitches loosely.

Sleeves

1. Pick up 50 (55, 60) stitches along the armhole edge using your circular needles.
2. Work in garter stitch for 2 inches.
3. Switch to stockinette stitch. Every 8th row, increase 1 stitch at each end until you have 70 (75, 80) stitches.
4. Continue knitting until the sleeve measures 18 (20, 22) inches from the cast-on edge.
5. Bind off all stitches loosely.

Assembly

1. Begin by sewing the shoulder seams of the front and back panels together.
2. Attach the sleeves to the armholes, ensuring they are evenly aligned.
3. Sew the side seams from the bottom of the pullover to the end of the sleeves.

Finishing Touches

1. To finish, create a garter stitch neckline by picking up stitches around the neck opening.
2. Knit for 1 inch, then bind off loosely to maintain elasticity.

Your Enchanted Meadow Oversized Pullover is now complete! Enjoy wearing your cozy creation that embodies the beauty of nature and the comfort of handmade craftsmanship.
