A most unusual and fun way to make Valley Yarns Purless Pullover, a one-piece, seamless sweater without any purling: nalgar sleeves! This construction method makes built-in sleeves that get longer as they get wider, so it’s great for warm weather, shorter-sleeved garments—especially when they are knit in cotton blends like Valley Yarns Goshen! Worked in the round from the bottom up, it also features a cute garter stitch yoke that highlights the construction and avoids purling.
