Norte pullover
The Norte Pullover is the ultimate cozy knitwear piece that will keep you snug on blustery winter days. This top-down pullover features an engaging and accessible colorwork pattern that adorns the yoke, sleeve cuffs, and body hem, making it not just warm but also stylish. Designed to be worked seamlessly, the Norte Pullover starts with an Italian cast-on for a polished neck ribbing and incorporates short rows that create a beautifully elevated back neck for enhanced comfort.
Once the charming yoke is completed, you'll place the sleeve stitches on hold, allowing you to work the body in a top-down manner. The sleeves are knitted in rounds, ensuring a smooth finish down to the cuffs. For those who enjoy a creative twist, the pattern includes detailed instructions on how to modify the Norte Pullover into a "happy scrappy" striped version, enabling you to use a variety of colors and unleash your creativity.
