Epona

Discover the elegance of our stunning Epona pullover knitting pattern, designed for both style and comfort. This beautiful sweater features graceful cables running along the center, complemented by a high rib structure that creates a flattering, narrower waistline. Perfect for horseback riding or pairing stylishly with a skirt, the Epona pullover is an ideal addition to your winter wardrobe. Elevating its charm, the high collar is enhanced with interfacing, allowing it to stand proudly and provide extra warmth on cooler days.

Sizes: Available in a range of sizes from XS (extra small) to 2XL (double extra large). The pullover is showcased in size Small for reference.

Yarn: This exquisite pullover is crafted from Hillesvåg Ullvarefabrikk’s Sølje Pelsull yarn, made from 100% pelt wool. This yarn boasts a generous length of 350 m (383 yds) per 100 g skein. The sample uses the captivating Green 2126 shade, requiring a total of 4 (4, 5, 5, 6, 7) skeins, translating to approximately 1193 m (1351, 1561, 1719, 1982, 2245 m) across different sizes.

Gauge: To achieve the perfect fit, it’s essential to maintain a gauge of 24 stitches and 32 rows in stockinette stitch when using 3 mm (US 2.5) needles, which measures 10 cm (4”) square.

Construction Notes: The Epona pullover is expertly constructed in individual pieces that are later seamed together for enhanced durability. Notably, the cable pattern continues beautifully onto the high collar, which is knitted in the round to achieve a flawless finish with a functional interfacing component. This intricately designed sweater is not only a project to relish but a statement piece to wear. Embrace your creativity and knit your very own Epona pullover today!
