Chainey

Introducing the Chainey pullover, a versatile and gender-neutral design suitable for all knitting enthusiasts. Named after the enchanting oak grove, Chainey evokes a sense of mystical serenity, making it the perfect garment to wear during those warm summer days spent outdoors.

This summer pullover or shirt is ingeniously knitted from the top down, starting with a cozy ribbed neckline. To tailor the fit, short rows are incorporated for neck shaping. The captivating circular yoke features a unique chain-inspired pattern that adds a touch of elegance. Yoke increases are skillfully executed in the round, culminating in beautiful raglan increases for that ideal fit. The body showcases the traditional stockinette stitch and is adorned with a delicate chain pattern before finishing with a stylish section of 1/1 ribbing. The sleeves mirror the body design, knitted in rounds and finished with the same exquisite detailing.

Available in an inclusive range of sizes—XS, S, M, L, XL, 2XL, 3XL, 4XL, and 5XL—the final bust circumference measurements are as follows: 85 (91) 95 (100) 110 (120) 130 (140) 152 cm. To achieve the best fit, we recommend selecting a size that offers you 0-5 cm of positive ease.

For this enchanting design, we recommend using Cocoon yarn by Mme Benoir, which is composed of 50% Alpaca and 50% Merino Wool, providing an exquisite feel and great drape. Each 100g skein offers 300m (328 yards), and you'll need a total yardage of 550/600/660/770/880/990/1000/1050/1100m depending on your size. Alternatively, you can choose a sport or DK weight yarn that matches the required gauge.

Whether you're an intermediate knitter or an experienced crafter, the Chainey pullover pattern is a fantastic addition to your collection. Enjoy the soothing process of creating this versatile garment that is not only stylish but also represents a connection to nature. Get ready to showcase your knitting skills and wear your beautiful creation during all your summer adventures!
