Cider Mill Pullover
Introducing our lightweight, casual women's pullover knitting pattern, expertly designed to be knit in the round from the bottom hem upwards. This stylish sweater features a charming and easy slip-stitch colorwork pattern at the neckline and sleeve cuffs, making it not just a cozy layer but also a delightful project for knitters of all skill levels. The sleeves are expertly knit in the round from the cuff upward and skillfully joined to the yoke for a seamless finish.
For added visual interest, the design incorporates simple garter-stitch contrast stripes that highlight the sweater hem, sleeve hems, and neckline, creating an eye-catching detail that elevates the overall look. The garment is subtly shaped at the waist for a flattering fit and is designed to have 1-2 inches of ease, ensuring comfort and style.
It’s important to note that the yardage specified is the amount needed for the Main Color (MC). Each of the contrast colors will require less than one ball to complete the intricate colorwork portions of this delightful pattern.
Inspired by the vibrant colors of fall orchards in Vermont and the longstanding tradition of cider-making in the region, this pullover is the perfect casual layer to wear during your visits to the farm stand or while picking apples in the orchard. It's versatile enough for a day out or a cozy evening at home.
