Circe Pullover

Inspired by the epic tales of the Odyssey, the Circe Pullover is a stunning knitting pattern featuring a stranded colorwork yoke adorned with motifs that pay homage to Greek mythology. This cozy pullover, crafted in a comfortable worsted weight yarn, is designed to be knit from the top down in the round, ensuring a seamless and enjoyable knitting experience.

To enhance comfort, short rows are incorporated before starting the yoke, allowing for a more relaxed neckline that hugs the shoulders perfectly. Additionally, extra short rows at the bottom edge of the body create a fashionable high-low hem, adding a modern twist to this classic design.

For reference, the sample knitted in Wool of the Andes is a size 38", modeled on a figure with a 34" chest for an accurate fit. The additional images showcase a striking version in Twill, featuring the main color Crabapple 27933 and the contrasting color Sea Salt Heather 28533. The Twill sample in this version is sized at 50", modeled on a 43" chest for illustrative purposes.

Note that the colorwork pattern for the Circe Pullover is charted only, making it ideal for those comfortable with chart reading. Whether you're a seasoned knitter or an adventurous beginner looking to elevate your skills, this pullover combines intricate design with practicality, making it a must-have piece for your wardrobe.
