Special Notes

How to knit this sweater: The Lazy Day Pullover is a raglan-style sweater, meaning that it’s knitted in the round from the top down.

Increases are made every other round to make a slanted seam from the neckline to the underarm. There will be enough stitches to cover the bust and shoulders. After several rounds of increases, there will be enough stitches to cover the bust and shoulders.

The arms are then worked in separate pieces, and then sewn together using crochet’s basic stitch.

Needles:

When knitting a sweater without buttons, you can start with double pointed needles. If you don’t have enough stitches for the length of the buttons, then you will need to cast on additional stitches and join.

Stitch Markers:

Stitch markers are helpful for marking segments of the sweater where increases will be made along the yoke, as well as to mark the beginning of the round. You should always use a different stitch marker for the beginning of the round, so you don’t accidentally increase in that spot. If you don’t have enough stitch markers, you can make them from small scraps of yarn.
