Description
Bosco by Elizabeth Smith is an oversized, loose boxy pullover knit seamlessly using chunky/bulky-weight yarn knit up on a needle size larger than you typically would to create a more loose fabric. Easy to wear and easy to knit!
Bosco is worked seamlessly from the bottom-up in one piece. At underarms, the front and back are divided and worked separately up to the neck, using short rows to shape shoulders. The shoulders are seamed together using the Three Needle Bind-Off technique. The sleeves are worked by picking up stitches around armholes and worked in the round to the cuff. Finally, stitches are picked up around neck and worked in the round to create the cowl neck.
