Game Theory pullover - hand knitting pattern
Working this cabled checkerboard fabric in luxurious yarn at a loose gauge is a winning strategy, conveying relaxed elegance in a sweater you’ll love to wear. The dropped-shoulder silhouette with a lower-in-back split hem is both flattering and comfortable, the contemporary look completed with an oversized fit, narrow sleeves and a wide neckline.
The pullover is worked in pieces from the bottom up, with seams lending structure and an exposed three-needle bind-off providing the final touch at the shoulders.
