Be Mine

Introducing Be Mine, a charming cap-sleeve pullover that’s perfect for cozy, off-season gifting! Named for an off-season Valentine delivery, this delightful design is worked almost entirely in Garter stitch, creating a fabric that is both delicate and springy when knit loosely. The simplicity of Be Mine is one of its most appealing features, showcasing a timeless aesthetic that combines classic style with modern flair. One of its standout details is the back-neckline, which dips lower than the front, adding a subtle romantic twist to the overall look.

This lovely pullover is designed for knitters who appreciate versatility and elegance. Both the bodice and sleeves are constructed top-down, beginning flat and then seamlessly joined for circular knitting that flows into the lower bodice and ribbing at the sleeve hems. The shaping of the lower bodice is ingeniously achieved by varying needle sizes, ensuring a customized fit that flatters all body types. The sleeves are crafted separately, featuring short rows at the cap for smooth shaping and an effortless setting-in process.

You’ll find Be Mine to be a quick and satisfying project, perfect for knitters of all skill levels looking to create a beautiful, wearable piece. The combination of elegant design and practical construction makes this pullover a must-have addition to any wardrobe. Enjoy the process of knitting, and wear your creation with pride!

SKILLS REQUIRED: This project requires knowledge of Long-tail CO, Backward loop CO, circular knitting, increasing techniques (kfb), short row shaping, stitch pick-up around the neckline for trim, and setting in sleeve caps. Whether you are an experienced knitter looking for a new challenge or a beginner eager to learn, Be Mine offers a wonderful opportunity to expand your skills while creating a beautiful garment.
