Bifurca pullover

This stunning cropped pullover features a unique modular construction highlighted by eye-catching stranded colourwork sections. Designed for versatility and style, this pullover is made up of a central panel, essentially a rectangle worked seamlessly in the round, complemented by four side panels that are knit sideways and joined at the underarms for a comfortable fit. The sleeves are skillfully picked up along the armholes and crafted top-down, allowing for easy customization and a perfect fit. To finish off the design, the hem is neatly picked up along the front, back, and sides, extending beautifully to enhance the body’s length. This pullover is an ideal way to showcase your knitting skills while creating a fashionable statement piece for your wardrobe.

Yarn:

MC: You will need 2 (3, 3, 3, 3) (3, 4, 4, 4) skeins of No.3 from G-Uld, made from 100% luxurious New Zealand lambswool, with a generous yardage of 450 m (492 yds) per 100 g skein, presented in the beautiful colourway of Natural Dark Brown. Alternatively, you can select approximately 884 (926, 992, 1082, 1252) (1347, 1351, 1446, 1607) m // 967 (1013, 1086, 1184, 1370) (1473, 1478, 1582, 1758) yds of any other high-quality fingering/sport weight yarn that matches the required gauge.

CC: You will also need about 125-146 m (137-160 yds) of any similar yarn to add those delightful accent touches.

Gauge:

To ensure your pullover fits perfectly, aim for a gauge of 26 stitches and 36 rounds over a 10 cm (4 in) square, using 3.0 mm (US 2.5) needles. This measurement should be taken over stockinette stitch worked in the round after blocking, which is essential for achieving the desired drape and fit.

This cropped pullover pattern is not only a fantastic project for knitters looking to explore modular designs but also a perfect way to express creativity through yarn choices and colour combinations. Join the knitting community by trying your hand at this unique, stylish design!
