Sprout Boatneck Designed by Gail Rhodes
The Boatneck Pullover is made with Classic Elite Sprout, a textured, bulky 100% organic cotton yarn. The garment is A-line, which is achieved by changing the size of the needles, not the number of stitches. Because of the A-line, the fit is loose. Pick your size by your bust measurement or maybe and inch or two more.

Block swatch. Measure interior 14 sts and 23 rows. If measurement is 4", you are ready to begin your project. If measurement is less than 4" you will need to re-gauge using a larger needle. If measurement is more than 4", you will need to re-gauge using a smaller needle. For most patterns, it will be OK if your row gauge is not exact, but you do have to have the stitch correct gauge. Note: Unless otherwise noted, all increases and decreases should be worked 1 or 2 sts in from the edge. This leaves a more even edge for sewing your garment together. Note: When tying on a new ball of yarn, leave at least 6", this will make it much easier toweave theends in. Definitions are given at the end of the pattern.
