Mountain High

Have you ever been invited to take a hike up a mountain, only to wonder why you would embark on such a journey, until you reach the summit and realize it was all worth it for the breathtaking view? This knitting design mirrors that experience beautifully. As you follow what appears to be a standard top-down pattern — complete with a couple of extra increases and decreases and charming garter stitch details — you might find yourself questioning the purpose of each step. However, once you bind off and try it on, the effect of those seemingly minor details becomes strikingly clear. The result is a simple yet flattering pullover that offers thoughtful design elements, prompting you to pause and appreciate your reflection when you look in the mirror!

This pullover is intended to provide approximately 2-3 inches of positive ease at the bust for a comfortable fit. The sample showcased here features about 6 inches of ease, achieving a stylishly oversized look that is both cozy and chic. Whether you’re new to knitting or a seasoned pro, this pattern is designed to enhance your skills while delivering a finished product you’ll be proud to wear.

You can use any worsted weight yarn that meets the correct gauge for this project. The sample is knitted with De Rerum Natura Gilliatt, which beautifully showcases the pullover’s design. Don’t miss out on the chance to create a piece that combines simplicity with distinctive details; it’s the perfect addition to your wardrobe that you’ll cherish for seasons to come.
