Caravay
Introducing the Caravay oversized pullover, a stunning knitwear piece inspired by the aromatic herb it gets its name from. This unique design features a delightful all-over domed check pattern, making it the perfect statement sweater for any wardrobe. Crafted with care, Caravay begins and ends with a broken ribbing detail, adding a touch of sophistication to this cozy pullover. The crowning collar is ingeniously worked double and folded down to the wrong side, creating a refined finish that stands out. A ribbing detail on the sides thoughtfully separates the pieces, which are knitted individually and then seamed together for durability and style.
Whether you choose to wear it belted for a chic, tailored look or unbelted for a relaxed vibe, the Caravay pullover is versatile enough to suit any occasion. It is knitted using the exquisite pelt wool yarn from Hillesvåg Ullvarefabrikk, named Tinde, ensuring warmth and comfort throughout the seasons.
This pattern is showcased in size Small, and can be easily adjusted to fit your preferences.
Needles: For this pattern, you will need a 3.5 mm/US 4 circular needle (80 cm/32”) for the main body, as well as a 3 mm/US 2.5 circular needle (40 cm/16”) for the collar. As always, feel free to adjust your needle size as needed to match your gauge and achieve the desired fit.
Notions: Be sure to have stitch markers (removable), a cable needle, stitch holders, and a yarn needle on hand for ease of knitting and assembly.
Gauge: Achieve a gauge of 21 stitches and 30 rows in stockinette stitch using the 3.5 mm/US 4 needles, measuring 10 cm/4” square after blocking to ensure a perfect fit.
Notes: The Caravay pullover is constructed by working back and forth in separate pieces before being seamed together. Notably, the neck is designed to be deeper on the front than on the back, providing an elegant framing for your face and enhancing the overall aesthetic of the sweater.
Elevate your knitting projects with the Caravay oversized pullover pattern, perfect for knitters looking to create a stylish and contemporary piece. With its delightful design and easy-to-follow instructions, this pullover will quickly become a favorite addition to your handmade collection.
