What you’ll make
POV Pullover is a top-down, seamless raglan in two colors. Alternating stockinette ↔ reverse-stockinette stripes create a point-of-view shift—the look changes as you move. Short-row shaping forms a comfortable crew neck, and it’s worked in the round with minimal finishing for a relaxed, easy-to-wear silhouette; suitable for adventurous beginners and beyond.

Includes both a Clean (All Sizes) PDF and 17 Size-Specific PDFs (A–Q) where your size’s numbers are highlighted and irrelevant sections are lightly greyed.
Why knitters love it: size-specific highlighting makes it easier to follow without hunting through other sizes.

Designed in Catskill Merino Sport (C1 Island Blue, C2 Algae). Yarn ideas: Mountain Meadow Cody, FDF Recollect. 

Optional length adjustments

Yarn weight
Sport (approx 12 wpi). Non-superwash or low-superwash wool recommended for best texture definition.

Per-color skein counts (by size)
