Harpswell Pullover

Discover the perfect sweater for that special man in your life with our classic fit pullover pattern. This stylish design features set-in sleeves and a timeless crew neck, enhanced by an allover textured pattern that adds a unique touch. Knit this comfy pullover in the round from the bottom hem to the underarms for ease and comfort. The front and back pieces are worked separately up to the shoulders, where they are seamlessly joined using a three-needle bind-off technique. The sleeves are also crafted in the round until the sleeve cap, then worked flat and expertly seamed into the body of the sweater for a polished finish. As modeled, this men's sweater offers approximately 4 inches (10 cm) of ease, creating a relaxed and stylish look. This versatile pullover pattern can easily be adapted for women; simply substitute the M1L increase with a yarn-over for a more feminine, lacier effect. Our detailed pattern includes both written and charted directions, along with a comprehensive schematic to guide your knitting journey. While the sample shown in the image was crafted using Brunswick Germantown yarn, now discontinued, feel free to experiment with your favorite worsted weight yarn for a similar look and feel. ### Skills Needed: To successfully complete this project, you should be familiar with essential knitting techniques such as knitting and purling, increasing and decreasing, as well as knitting in both the round and flat. You'll also need to master the three-needle bind-off and basic seaming methods. ### Gauge: To achieve the perfect fit, aim for a gauge of 18 stitches and 28 rows over a 4-inch (10 cm) square in the textured pattern. Elevate your knitting skills and create a cherished handmade gift with this timeless men's sweater pattern!
