Nanook

Discover the beauty of top-down knitting with the stunning Nanook pattern! This delightful garment is knitted in one seamless piece, ensuring minimal finishing while providing a satisfying and engaging knitting experience. With its intricate textures and versatile design, Nanook looks fabulous in a wide variety of yarns—from rich, solid wools to luxurious hand-dyed silk, alpaca, and cashmere blends. The dynamic stitch patterns maintain your interest from start to finish, making it perfect for both novice knitters and seasoned pros.

Nanook can be worn open or closed, giving you two stylish options to suit your mood. Plus, you won't need to decide on the closure until the very end, as the clever natural eyelets in the stitch pattern conveniently double as buttonholes! This thoughtful design feature adds both functionality and flair to your finished piece.

When selecting your size, aim for a fit that is close to your actual bust measurement, or opt for a size that is up to 3 cm / 1 inch smaller for an optimal silhouette across the back. This ensures that your Nanook will not only look great but also feel comfortable to wear.

The original Nanook was beautifully crafted using Quince & Co. Lark, well-known for its quality and rich colorways. If you're considering different yarn options, refer to the suggested substitute yarns listed below, allowing you to customize your project based on your personal taste and budget.
