Beachcomber

Introducing the Beachcomber pullover, an effortless and stylish garment designed to be worked top down and in one piece. Starting with the back, this innovative construction method allows for seamless flow in your knitting project. The shoulders are picked up along the back cast on edge, and the body is finished in the round from the underarms, ensuring a neat and professional finish. The sleeves are also picked up and worked in the round, creating a cohesive look. The drop shoulder construction of the Beachcomber pullover makes it a roomy and comfortable option, perfect for layering over a bathing suit or a delicate cami for those sunny days at the beach.

The Beachcomber pullover is crafted using 100% premium linen, renowned for its fantastic drape and breathable comfort—ideal for warm-weather wear. In the featured sample, I have incorporated five striking colors, but this versatile pattern can easily be adapted to feature one, two, or even a multitude of colors, allowing for endless customization based on your personal style and preferences. To help you along the way, I’ve included total yardage amounts, ensuring you have all the guidance you need to create your very own Beachcomber pullover in a yarn and colors of your choosing.

I highly recommend selecting a plant-fiber yarn for your project, such as linen, cotton, bamboo, rayon, or any blend of these materials, to achieve that delightful drape and breathability. Whether you are an experienced knitter or just starting out, the Beachcomber pullover pattern provides a fantastic opportunity to create a chic, comfortable piece that can transition seamlessly from the beach to a casual afternoon out.
