Longacre Pullover

Inspired by classic ribbed and cabled pullovers, this stylish knitting pattern has been thoughtfully updated with waist shaping and slim, skinny ribbed sleeves. A touch of shoulder shaping enhances the overall fit, making it a fashionable and comfortable choice for your wardrobe. The innovative design allows you to work the body seamlessly in the round, starting from the bottom up to the armholes. This clever approach features exquisite placed cable panels on both the front and back, giving the garment a unique and eye-catching flair. The body begins with a k2, p2 ribbing that sets the stage for the cable panels, which grow organically out of the ribbing to create a stunning visual impact. Once you reach the armholes, you’ll divide the work to shape the front and back separately, incorporating short rows to sculpt the shoulders for a superior fit. The sleeves are crafted in the round from the cuff up to the armholes, also utilizing k2, p2 ribbing for continuity and style. After finishing the initial underarm bind-off, the cap of the sleeves is worked back and forth to complete the look. This pattern not only combines traditional techniques with modern updates but also results in a versatile and flattering pullover that you’ll love to wear. Perfect for intermediate knitters and enthusiasts alike, this design will add a touch of sophistication to any outfit!
