Mrs Grimmet's pullover

Mrs. Grimmet is my style guru. She always looks well put together, and just right for whatever the occasion. I borrowed a few ideas from her playbook, and the result is this cowl-neck sideways-knit pullover with kangaroo pockets. It's just the kind of go-to piece that could easily become a Mrs. Grimmet's staple.

The pullover is knitted from side to side in one piece beginning with a provisional cast-on.

Pockets are cleverly knit in.

Cowl and ribbing at hem are picked up and knitted. Sleeves are knitted from the top in the round, and sleeve caps are shaped with short rows.
