Bonanza

Introducing Bonanza, a stunning tribute to the iconic western wear of the 60’s, reimagined for the modern knitter! This stylish crewneck pullover features a unique detached fringed cowl collar, seamlessly blending vintage flair with contemporary aesthetics. Crafted primarily in classic stockinette stitch, the addition of moss stitch introduces delightful texture to both the front and back panels, making it a standout piece in your wardrobe. With a cropped length that sits high on the hip and gentle waist shaping, Bonanza flatters a variety of body types, ensuring a comfortable yet stylish fit.

This thoughtfully designed garment is constructed bottom-up and worked in-the-round up to the armholes, where the project is split and continued flat for a tailored finish. The long sleeves are also worked bottom-up and in-the-round, culminating in elegantly set-in caps that enhance the overall silhouette. To complete the look, the matching cowl is crafted flat, then ingeniously grafted into a loop. The simple yet fun process of creating fringe adds a playful touch, as you unravel the edges and trim them to perfection.

Our comprehensive 11-page PDF includes detailed pattern instructions, vibrant photographs, precise schematics, and a helpful photo tutorial for your fringe-making technique. Additionally, you'll find definitions for all relevant abbreviations, ensuring a smooth knitting experience. Whether you’re a seasoned knitter or just starting your crafting journey, Bonanza promises to be an enjoyable project that results in a charming, fashionable piece that pays homage to the spirit of the 60’s western style. Enjoy your knitting adventure with Bonanza!
