Cast on and learn all the techniques you need to make your first sweater! Turtle Dove II by Melissa Clulow of Espace Tricot is a very simple seamless pullover knit from the top down. It is a loose, raglan-style sweater with a turtleneck and a modern silhouette. Knit from the top-down with optional short-rows to raise the back of the neck slightly, the entire sweater is knit in the round so there is no seaming at all. There are two options for finishing the body - a simple rolled hem or a twisted rib split-hem. Turtle Dove II is knit with Drops AIR and, like the original, it is light and warm and incredibly soft! Please take the chest measurement of a sweater that fits the way you want your sweater to fit. We will discuss positive/negative ease.

This sweater is designed to be worn with 14 -18” / 35.5 - 45.75 cm of positive ease; however, this is just a guide. Some people prefer a closer fit; do not be afraid to select an option that provides somewhat less than the suggested ease according to your own preferences.
