Estelle Pullover
Introducing the sister pattern to the popular Estelle cardigan: a stunning lace pullover that showcases the same intricate lace design but offers even more beautiful detailing. Despite featuring additional lace, this pullover remains a quick and enjoyable knit, perfect for knitters of all levels! For this project, I selected the luxurious Shibui yarn, Birch, which is exceptionally soft and boasts a delicate halo, creating an altogether delightful finished garment.
Modeled with 1” / 2.5 cm of negative ease, this pullover accentuates your silhouette perfectly. Whether you’re looking to elevate your wardrobe or searching for a thoughtful handmade gift, this pullover is a fantastic choice.
Yarn: This pattern features Shibui Knits Staccato and Shibui Knits Birch. For those interested, suggested substitutes are listed below to accommodate a range of preferences and budgets.
This stylish sweater is crafted using a compound raglan construction method, skillfully knit from the top down in one seamless piece. This innovative style not only enhances comfort but also allows for a more flattering fit. The rate of increase is designed to vary, making it easy to follow the natural shape of your body. The pullover increases more rapidly between the neck and shoulders, as well as at the underarm, while tapering off gradually in the middle section for a defined look.
Designed with negative ease in the bust area, this pullover is tailored for a snug fit. If you prefer a looser, more relaxed style, feel free to work one size larger than your usual fit. Additionally, the waist shaping can be omitted if you’re striving for a straighter silhouette. For your convenience, body length is easily adjustable to suit your personal taste and preferences.
To achieve the best texture and appearance, remember to hold 1 strand of each yarn together throughout the project. This technique not only enhances the overall look of the pullover but also adds warmth and softness.
Whether you're a seasoned knitter or just beginning your journey, this lace pullover pattern is perfect for adding a touch of elegance to your knitwear collection. Dive into your next knitting adventure and create a beautiful piece that you'll cherish for years to come!
