28 Basketweave Pullover- Child & Adult Sweater

Description

This is a basic pullover with drop sleeves and an easy basketweave yoke. It is sized for the whole family starting with 6 months and going through a 54”. The front and back are knit in pieces , the shoulders are then sewn together and the sleeve sts are picked up around the armhole and the sleeve is knit down. I use this type of drop sleeve a lot because it is so much easier than knitting sleeves and then sewing them in.
