Stormwatch

Storm Watch is a stunning piece featured in the book Tempest, a curated collection of exquisite handknits designed by Holli Yeoh for SweetGeorgia Yarns. This oversized and flowing pullover is not just a garment; it’s a statement of style and comfort.

This pattern showcases drop shoulder construction taken to new heights, creating a contemporary and relaxed silhouette. The skinny three-quarter length sleeves give a modern touch, making it perfect for both casual and elegant occasions. The design is beautifully enhanced by vertical bands of lace that grace each edge of the front and back, introducing a sense of lightness and intricacy to the garment. These lace details not only enhance the visual appeal but also offer a long and lean look to the wearer, ensuring that you feel both chic and comfortable.

Skills Required

This pattern is ideal for knitters with basic knitting skills, as well as those looking to expand their repertoire. You'll need to be comfortable knitting in the round for the neck edging, performing increases (such as yarnover and backwards loop cast on), and mastering decreases (including k2tog, center double decrease, and ssk). Additional skills required for this project include three needle bind off, working from a simple lace chart or written instructions, knit-on edging, basic sweater construction knowledge, picking up stitches, and seaming techniques.

For the perfect fit, this oversized pullover is designed to be worn with approximately 16-18" / 40.5-45.5 cm of positive ease, ensuring a cozy yet stylish look that flatters various body types.

The downloadable PDF includes an additional 10-page Tips & Techniques section from the book Tempest, providing extra guidance and insights to help you successfully complete your project. Whether you're a seasoned knitter or a newcomer looking to challenge yourself, the Storm Watch pullover is a must-knit design that combines elegance with everyday comfort. Embrace the art of knitting with this stylish pullover and make a bold fashion statement with your handcrafted creation!
