Bright Here Bright Now Pullover

Introducing the Bright Here Bright Now Pullover, the latest addition to the Bright Here Bright Now collection! Knit in the incredibly soft and lightweight Dimond Laine Big Birdie, this pullover is designed to capture the nostalgic charm of a retro ski sweater. With raglan shaping and bold, vibrant stripes, you can choose your favorite five-color pairing to make it your own! Whether you’re in the mood for a cozy turtleneck or a classic crewneck, this pattern includes options to customize your sweater just the way you like it.

CONSTRUCTION

Pullover is CO and worked flat to shape the shoulders and neck through increases. Stitches are then CO for the Front Neck and Pullover is joined in the round and worked from the top-down. Raglan increases are worked to shape the neck and shoulders. Sleeve stitches are placed on holders while Body and Hem are completed. Sleeve stitches are returned to the needles and worked in the round from the underarm to cuff. Stitches are picked up around the CO for turtleneck/crewneck.

PATTERN NOTES

In addition to the written directions this pattern contains helpful checklists for the stripes. These easy to follow diagrams demonstrate the stripe placement on the Raglan, Body (after sleeve split), Sleeves, Hem, and Sleeve Cuffs.
