Juneau

Clear mountain streams and long summer evenings inspire this vibrant colorway, making it a perfect choice for your next knitting project. The Juneau pullover, designed for both comfort and style, will not only keep you warm but also evoke imagery of nature’s splendor as you knit and wear it.

Juneau is expertly knitted in one seamless piece from the top down, featuring a stunning stranded yoke and sleeves that add a pop of color and texture. The lower body is crafted with single-color knitting for a streamlined look. This design incorporates wrapless short-rows to artistically shape the yoke, and small provisional cast-ons are skillfully executed at the underarms to ensure a polished finish.

Techniques used in this pattern include: stranded knitting, reading charts, provisional cast-on, and an alternate cable cast-on (which is thoroughly explained for your convenience). This makes it an excellent project for knitters looking to enhance their skill set while creating a beautiful garment.

The Juneau knitting pattern includes comprehensive written instructions for all sizes, a detailed schematic for easy reference, and a glossary with helpful links to additional resources. Please note that charts are provided in charted format only, catering to those who prefer visual stitch patterns.

When it comes to gauge, aim for 25 stitches and 32 rows to achieve a gauge of 4” / 10 cm in stranded stockinette stitch using size 5 / 3.75 mm needles. Selecting the right yarn is key, and for this design, we recommend using Sunday Knits 3 ply (a light sport-weight yarn, boasting 246 yards / 225 meters per 50g skein) available in a wide variety of beautiful blends.
