Calla Lilly Pullover

This beautiful sweater pattern is designed to be worked seamlessly in the round from the top down, utilizing short rows to elevate the back neck for a comfortable fit. The journey begins with a sophisticated I-cord cast on (a helpful video tutorial link is included for easy guidance). Once the neck shaping is complete through short rows, you'll dive into delightful colorwork, following charts while simultaneously increasing for the yoke. The yoke increases continue until you reach the sleeve separation point, making this an engaging and enjoyable knitting project.

After the sleeve stitches are placed on hold, you’ll cast on underarm stitches and proceed to work the body straight, without any body shaping, until you reach the stylish bottom ribbing. This design features a slightly cropped top, perfect for layering or wearing on its own. Once the body is finished, simply return the sleeve stitches to the needles and work in the round from the top down to the cuff. The short sleeves of this pattern allow for a quick and rewarding experience, perfect for knitters looking to speed through "sleeve island."

This is a #sizeinclusive pattern, designed for all body types! This versatile sweater is meant to be worn with approximately 4-6 inches (10-15.25 cm) of positive ease at the bust, ensuring a comfortable and flattering fit for everyone. Whether you're looking to add a cozy layer to your wardrobe or to showcase your colorwork skills, this sweater pattern is the perfect choice. Happy knitting!
