Such a Winter's Day

Cozy up for winter or anytime with this textured pullover that exudes a subtle 60's vibe. Perfect for knitters of any skill level looking to embrace the warm and stylish offerings of the season, this pullover is more than just a cozy garment—it’s a statement piece!

The unique texture of this pullover is expertly created using a simple yet effective combination of knit and purl stitches, resulting in a visually appealing design that stands out. The body can be made straight, as shown, or you have the option to add waist shaping for a more traditional, tailored fit. This pullover is worked top-down and primarily in the round, ensuring no complicated seaming is required, making it a great choice for both novice and experienced knitters alike.

One of the highlights of this pattern includes the stitches for the collar, which are picked up and knitted at the end, allowing for a polished finish. The pattern is rated as advanced due to the requirement of being able to "read" your knitting, which is crucial for continuing the textured stitch pattern while simultaneously executing the raglan increases chat give structure to the sleeves.

This stylish pullover is designed to be worn with approximately 1 - 8 cm (½ - 3 inches) of positive ease, allowing for a comfortable, relaxed fit. The length of the body from the underarm is 37 cm (14 ½ inches). If you prefer a longer style, you may wish to lengthen the body, noting that this may require additional yarn.

This design is showcased in size S2, featuring about 8 cm (3 inches) of ease, delivering both comfort and style. The pullover is displayed in Brooklyn Tweed Shelter yarn in the beautiful color fossil, a perfect choice for enhancing the textured look while keeping you warm.
