Note
Pattern is worked from the top-down with the contiguous sleeve method developed by Susie Myers (http://www.ravelry.com/people/SusieM). A simple fitted pull-over with scoop neck and 3/4 sleeves. This is not a special one. But I think it become a must-have (Best of everyday wear) for you! Enjoy knitting :)
