Knitting Pattern: Jari Pullover – A Cozy Oversized Design

Introducing the Jari Pullover, a beautifully designed knitting pattern that combines comfort and style. Named after the Norse word for “fighter,” this oversized pullover features a unique bottom tuck and a stunning Celtic cable front panel that adds an intricate touch. The design balances elegance and warmth with its high collar. In contrast to the richly detailed front, the back showcases a subtle simplicity with just two small center cables.

The sleeves of the Jari Pullover are crafted in a smooth stockinette stitch, concluding with cozy cuffs for added warmth. Finishing off the hem, the pullover elegantly returns to its roots with double seed stitch, while the collar is enhanced with a chic I-cord finish, making it both functional and fashionable. This delightful pullover is knitted using the lightweight and airy Norwegian combed wool yarn, Ask, sourced from Hillesvåg Ullvarefabrikk, ensuring a soft and breathable wear.

Gauge: Achieve a gauge of 22 stitches and 30 rows in stockinette stitch using a 3.5 mm (US 4) needle, measuring 10 cm (4 inches) square after blocking for the best fit.

The construction of the Jari Pullover involves working back and forth in separate pieces that are later seamed together, providing a classic finish. The collar is knitted in the round to create a seamless look. A circular needle is recommended for this project to comfortably accommodate the large stitch count on both the Back and Front panels. For easy customization, consider making minor length adjustments by either shortening or lengthening the double seed stitch band, or by working an additional half Cable pattern repeat on the Front. This simple tweak adds or deducts about 8 cm (3 inches) in length to achieve your desired fit.

Whether you're knitting for yourself or creating a thoughtful gift, the Jari Pullover is ideal for knitters seeking a cozy yet stylish project that showcases beautiful craftsmanship.
