Gortenzia

Introducing the Gortenzia Pullover, a beautifully crafted knitting pattern designed for those who love to create seamless garments from the top down. This elegant sweater is worked entirely in rounds, starting with a snug and stylish neckband. The innovative seamless saddle-shoulder construction combined with contiguous techniques offers an exceptional fit while shaping the yoke and sleeve caps. The body of the sweater features a fashionable A-line silhouette that gracefully extends to the hemline, providing both comfort and flair.

As you approach the hemline, you'll create a stunning separation of stitches for the front and back, allowing you to work each section back and forth with ease and precision. The sleeves are skillfully crafted top-down in rounds, allowing you to customize the length to your preference, while the cuffs are finished in a delightful pattern that mirrors the hemline.

The yarn used in our original Gortenzia Pullover sample is Sweet Fiber Yarns' Sweet Merino Lite, which boasts an impressive 475 yards / 434 meters per 115 grams / 4.06 ounces. However, if this yarn is unavailable at Loveknitting, we highly recommend a similar quality substitute like Madelinetosh Tosh Merino Light yarn for a comparable finish.

For your knitting project, be prepared with the required yardage of approximately 1153 (1238, 1323, 1411, 1499, 1589, 1680, 1786, 1895) yards / 1054 (1132, 1210, 1290, 1371, 1453, 1536, 1633, 1733) meters, ensuring you have more than enough to complete this stunning pullover. The Gortenzia Pullover is not just a knitting project; it's an opportunity to showcase your craftsmanship and wear a unique piece that is both stylish and versatile. Whether you're preparing for a day out or simply enjoying a cozy evening in, this pullover will be a cherished addition to your wardrobe.
