Makalu

Introducing the Makalu Pullover, an elegant scoop-neck design that features set-in sleeves, making it a perfect addition to your knitting collection. This beautiful pattern guides you through working the body in the round from the bottom up, starting with a stylish cabled rib band. As you progress, you will transition into an intricate cabled pattern that adds visual interest and texture to the main body of the pullover.

For the sleeves, stitches are expertly picked up around the armhole, allowing you to work in short rows for a perfect sleeve cap fit. The sleeves are then knitted in the round down to the wrist, ensuring a seamless and polished finish. This construction technique not only enhances the overall look but also provides a comfortable fit for everyday wear.

The sample shown is designed to fit a 33½” bust with a 36” bust measurement and includes 2½” of negative ease, making it a fitted yet comfortable option. The cable stitch patterns for the Makalu Pullover are both written and charted, catering to knitters of all preferences and skill levels.

Skills required for this project include working in the round, mastering short rows, navigating cable techniques, as well as performing k2tog and ssk decreases, and skillfully picking up stitches. Whether you are an experienced knitter or looking to expand your skills with cables and short rows, this pattern is a fantastic choice for your next project.
