Ekubo

Introducing the “Ekubo Pullover” – inspired by the Japanese word for dimples, this cozy boxy pullover is perfect for knitters seeking comfort and style. Featuring an innovative design, the Ekubo Pullover boasts loose sleeves and is primarily crafted using a captivating textured Ekubo stitch. This unique knitting pattern is executed from the top down, making it easy to customize for a perfect fit.

The journey begins with a cast-on, followed by expertly shaped shoulders employing the German short rows technique. After this foundational step, both the front and back sections are worked separately in the delightful Ekubo stitch, back and forth until reaching the underarm. Next, the pieces are seamlessly joined to create a smooth flow, allowing you to work in the round all the way to the hem.

Adding to its charm, the sleeves are crafted by picking up stitches around the arm openings, enabling you to knit them from the top down in the round for a polished look. The hem and cuffs are finished with a chic 1x3 slip stitch rib, ensuring both style and durability. For a refined finishing touch, all edges feature a neatly executed I-cord bind-off that elevates the overall aesthetic of the pullover.

Whether you’re an experienced knitter or a passionate beginner, the Ekubo Pullover knitting pattern is designed to engage and inspire. Embrace this blend of comfort and elegance, and create a stunning piece that will delight both you and those around you.
