Band.
Weave in ends.

HOW TO WEAR THE PULLOVER
With drawstrings on both top and bottom of the pullover, it is versatile enough to wear in different ways. To wear as shown in the image on the left on page 1 of the pattern, let the bottom hem fall around your hips, then tighten the bottom drawstring loosely around the hips. Tighten the top drawstring around the top of your shoulders and adjust the
fabric to create an even “ruffle” around the neckline. To wear as shown in the image on the right, bring the bottom hem of the pullover around your waist, then tighten the bottom drawstring more tightly to keep it at
waist level. The top drawstring can be loosened as much as possible (or removed if you prefer) to let the neckline droop in the center, forming a frame for the camisole or top you choose to wear underneath it.

SPECIAL TECHNIQUE
I-CORD: On dpn, cast on [or pick up] number of sts indicated in instructions. DO NOT TURN. *Slide sts to the opposite end of the needle and knit them, pulling yarn firmly behind sts; rep from * to desired length. After a few rows, you will see that you are knitting a tiny tube; give it a gentle tug now and then to adjust any loose sts. Bind off all sts, leaving approx. 12” tail for finishing.

Finished Bust 30 (34, 38, 42, 46, 50, 54) in. (76 (86.5, 96.5, 106.5, 117, 127, 137) cm)

Note: Pattern is written for smallest size with changes for larger sizes in parentheses. When only one number is given, it applies to all sizes. To follow pattern more easily, circle all numbers pertaining to your size before beginning.

MATERIALS
• 825-210 Lion Brand Amazing Yarn: Joshua Tree 5 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11 Balls
• Crochet Hook - Size H-8
• Knitting Needles- Size 9 [5.5 mm]
• Large-Eye Blunt Needles (Set of 6)

GAUGE:
17 sts + 22 rows = 4 in. (10 cm) in St st (k on RS, p on RS) on larger needles. BE SURE TO CHECK YOUR GAUGE. When you match the gauge in a pattern, your project will be the size specified in the pattern and the materials specified in the pattern will be sufficient. If it takes you less stitches and rows to make a 4 in. [10 cm] square, try using a smaller size hook or needles; if more stitches and rows, try a larger size hook or needles.

STITCH EXPLANATION:
kfb (knit into front and then back)
An increase worked as follows:
1. Knit the next st through the front loop, but do not remove the st from your left hand needle.
2. Knit the same st once more, this time inserting your needle through the back loop of the st. You will have created 2 loops (sts) on your right hand needle.
3. Drop the st from your left hand needle - you have increased 1 st.

sk2p (slip-k2tog-pass slipped st over) A double decrease worked as follows:
1. Insert right needle as if to knit, and slip the next st from the left needle to the right needle.
2. Knit the next 2 sts together.
3. With tip of left needle, lift the slipped st (the 2nd st on right needle) up and over the k2tog (first st on right needle)
and off the needle - you have decreased 2 sts.
ssk (slip, slip, knit) Slip next 2 sts as if to knit, one at a time, to right needle; insert left needle into fronts of these 2
sts and knit them tog - 1 st decreased.

NOTES:
1. Pullover is worked in 4 pieces; Back, Front, and 2 Sleeves. Each piece is worked from lower edge up.
2. Crochet slip sts are worked as edging on Sleeves, neck and lower edge of Pullover. If desired, you may work a knit edging instead. To work a knit edging, pick up evenly spaced sts around neck, Sleeves or lower edge of Pullover. Without working any rows, bind off all sts.
