Orza Pullover

Introducing the loose-fitting Pullover, a stylish and versatile knitting pattern designed for those who love texture and creativity. This unique pullover features an overall texture showcased in two distinct stitch patterns, allowing for variation in color blocking and graded striping that will surely make it a standout piece in your wardrobe. The Orza¹ pullover includes an innovative asymmetrical raglan shoulder design with a deeper, rounded shape in the back, echoing the trend of racer back tops. This clever construction is thoughtfully worked in different ratios for the front and back, offering a unique fit that flatters all body types.

The slightly wavy, high crew neck elegantly balances the horizontal striping, adding a touch of sophistication to the sporty feel of this jumper. Knitters have the option to choose between two different sleeve versions, or even create both as shown, adding an extra layer of fun and personalization to the design. This pattern is perfect for knitters looking to craft a garment that is not only comfortable but also trendy and eye-catching.

¹ In Mediterranean sailing terminology, a boat is said to be sailing Orza when its sails are trimmed tightly and it is sailing as close to the wind as possible. This point of sail allows the boat to travel diagonally to the wind direction, also known as 'upwind'.
