Meet The Mainstay, the pullover that's ready to be however you need it to be this fall. Worked seamlessly from the top down, with minimal finishing, this sweater is a satisfying knit from shoulder to hem. Choose your yarn weight (available in four gauges), a rolled or ribbed neckline, a circular or split hem, and wear it with anywhere from 4 to 8 inches of positive ease for a fit that's all yours. One pattern, four gauge options, twelve sizes, endless ways to make it feel like home.

The Mainstay is a pullover worked seamlessly from the top down, starting at the upper back. Stitches are picked up along each back shoulder edge to form the top of the front, then joined at the front neck. Sleeve stitches are picked up around the armhole and worked in the round down to the wrist, shaped with a short row cap. Options are included for a circular or split hem and a rolled or ribbed neckband.
