Hot for Pink Pullover
Hot for Pink Pullover
Grab the boldest colour you dare and pair it with a soft neutral for a sweater that’s both a statement and a wardrobe basic! Hot for Pink is worked top-down with short-row shaping and optional waist shaping for a great fit. Finish it off with a delicate I-cord bind-off at the neckline. Detailed schematics and instructions mean you can modify it to suit your style and shape.

32 sts/42 rounds = 4 in/10 cm in 2x2 ribbing with smaller needle

Skills
I consider this pattern to be intermediate level knitting. It includes working in the round, short row shaping, working stranded colourwork from charted instructions, picking up stitches, shaping, and i-cord bind-off.
