City sophistication meets cozy comfort with the Metropolitan Pullover by Tori Yu.

The combination of fingering and lace weight yarns create a delightfully light fabric using larger needles. The Metropolitan Pullover is a top-down contiguous construction that is worked seamlessly in the round to create a fit that mimics set-in sleeves. If you love the experience of top-down raglan, you will fall in love with this one! Eyelet increases and I-cord finishing give this pullover a soft and sophisticated touch. The sleeves can be worked in a choice of two options: Straight or Tapered.

It’s Cardi Party Time! Join the Berroco Fall Make Along!

The crocheted yoke of my Link Tee by Tomomi Yoshimoto grew and shrank as I went. i was working on the round following a decrease round when I noticed a section of 3 leaves instead of 2 so I had to pull back to fix it and then I noticed my beginning of round had shifted farther back so I pulled back even farther! There is still a mistake on my very first crochet round but I decided to leave that one!

I finally finished the yoke and picked up for the knit body front and then the back. The back has more rows so that the back is higher than the front without short rows.

Other than my Link Tee knitting up more variegated than I expected, I am happy with it so far! I will have to see how far my second skein of yarn goes before I know what length my sleeves will be.
