Where’s The Spider? is a seamless pullover with an unusual construction - it starts with hexagon-shaped upper back and front, worked from the centre outwards. When the two pieces are wide enough, they are joined and worked top down and in the round, with small sections of short rows at the sides for even body length. Raglan sleeves are knitted onto the body - the whole sweater is seamless.
The pattern is available in a wide range sizes, from kids’ size 2 years to women’s size 2X. Kids’ sizes are unisex.
