Design and Construction

This pullover features a boxy fit with dropped shoulders, offering a relaxed and comfortable silhouette. It is knitted seamlessly from the top down, incorporating an allover cable and double moss stitch pattern that adds texture and visual interest. The construction begins at the back neck, with increases fully charted over the cable pattern to achieve the full width of the back. Stitches are then picked up for the shoulders to work the front of the pullover. The front and back are joined at the underarm, and the body is worked in the round. Sleeves are picked up from the body and feature short-row shaping at the sleeve caps for an improved fit. The hem and cuffs are finished with a tubular bind-off, providing a stretchy and polished edge. The neckband can be folded double or left unfolded for a loose funnel neck, allowing for customization based on personal preference.

The pattern offers a comprehensive range of sizes to accommodate various body types:

  • Sizes: 1 (2, 3, 4, 5) (6, 7, 8, 9)
  • Finished Bust Circumference: 94 (105, 115, 125, 135) (145, 155, 165, 175) cm / 37.5 (41.25, 45.25, 49.25, 53.25) (57, 61, 65, 69) inches, including an intended positive ease of 20 cm / 8 inches

The pattern allows for easy adjustments to the body and sleeve lengths to suit individual measurements, ensuring a personalized fit.

Materials and Yarn

The recommended yarn for this pattern is an aran weight yarn, with the sample shown using Kelbourne Woolens Lucky Tweed (100% merino; 192 meters / 210 yards per 100 g). The required yardage varies by size:

  • Yardage: 1100 (1210, 1340, 1470, 1620) (1780, 1960, 2150, 2260) yards / 1010 (1110, 1220, 1340, 1480) (1630, 1790, 1970, 2070) meters

Alternatively, the pullover can be knitted by holding one strand of DK weight yarn together with a strand of silk mohair to achieve the desired gauge and texture. The pattern recommends using unicolor or slightly tonal colorways to best showcase the stitch patterns.

  • Cables
