Carnaby Girl Sweater

Introducing our stylish women's pullover knitted from the bottom hem up to the armholes in the round. This versatile design features a classic silhouette that makes it a staple for any wardrobe. The body of the sweater is placed on hold while the beautiful sleeves are crafted from the cuffs up to the armholes, also in the round. Once completed, the sleeves and body are joined to create a seamless look, showcasing a stunning colorwork yoke. To finish off this casual pullover, we've added simple 1x1 ribbing at both the neckline and hems, giving it that polished touch.

When selecting your size, keep in mind that the sizes provided are for the actual finished garment. For a more relaxed fit, similar to the style shown in the photos, we recommend choosing a finished size that is 2-5 inches larger than your actual bust measurement. Conversely, if you prefer a closer-fitting pullover, opt for a size that is as close to your actual bust measurement as possible for the best fit.

This pattern is designed for knitters with suggested skills including simple chart reading, knitting in the round, and the ability to increase and decrease stitches. It's perfect for those looking to enhance their knitting skills while creating a beautiful garment.

If you'd like to substitute yarn for this pullover, you will need approximately 1350 (1350, 1375, 1450, 1550, 1650, 1750, 1825, 1900) yards of the main color (MC) and around 75 (80, 90, 110, 130, 150, 175, 210, 225) yards for each of the four contrast colors needed for the intricate colorwork section.
