Pattern Notes:  Your coven awaits, come join us! Dive into fall with this witchy, October pullover. This design is completely customizable. Use it as a guideline to make your own unique sweater to keep you cozy when the winds start to howl.

This sweater is worked from the top down seamlessly with a circular yoke. A bit of stranded colorwork keeps the yoke interesting. If you like to add a large chart to the lower body, go for it! If you want to keep it simple, just work plain stockinette stitch to the bottom ribbing.  Colorwork is resumed on the sleeve to balance out the design. All in all, this is a pretty simple knit. There are a variety of fits, see box to the left and the blocking schematic for more details on sizing and shapes.
