Donner
Knit in cool and drapey linen, and designed to fit with a bit of positive ease, this modern drop-shoulder pullover is the perfect warm-weather garment.
Donner is worked from the top down in a simple slip-stitch ridge pattern. The shoulders are shaped with short rows, angling them downward for a better fit. Front and back are joined at the underarms and the body is worked in the round to the hem. Three-quarter length sleeves are picked up from the armholes and worked to the cuff in the round.
