Escalier Pullover
Discover the joy of knitting with this relaxed pullover pattern, expertly crafted to bring comfort and style to your wardrobe. This beautiful design features an all-over textured pattern that is both fun to knit and easy to follow, making it perfect for knitters of various skill levels. With set-in sleeves, subtle waist shaping, and an elegant V-neck, this pullover offers a flattering fit that accentuates your figure while providing plenty of room for movement.
The body of the sweater is ingeniously worked in the round, ensuring a seamless finish, while the sleeves are also knitted in the round before being seamed into the armholes. This method not only minimizes finishing work but also enhances the durability of the garment. After the seaming process, a simple round of single crochet finishes the neckline, adding a polished touch. With seams only used in the essential areas—such as the shoulders and armholes—this design avoids any stretching, resulting in a reliable and beautiful sweater.
This pullover is designed to be worn with +3-4 inches (7.5-10 cm) of ease at the bust for a standard fit, shown in a size 34 inches (86.5 cm) with +4 inches (10 cm) of ease on the model. Whether you’re dressing casually or looking to make a statement, this versatile piece can be styled in numerous ways to suit any occasion.
