Job type Test knit
Description

Christmas is such a special time of year for those of us that celebrate and what is more Christmassy than a present for yourself to wear on the day? We spend so much time making sure others have just the right gift that we often forget ourselves or when asked what we want we automatically respond that we don't need or want anything more than time with the family. So, I challenge you to treat yourself to both a fun project to knit but a truly lovely garment to wear on Christmas day. This fun pullover is actually much easier than it looks...it is knit from the top down making it easy to get just the right fit and begins with a twisted neck band, moves into a very easy lace yoke and is followed by lots and lots of mindless stockinette stitch and a deep broken rib as the final touch.
