Plume Pullover

This pattern download includes 2 files; one is instructions for sizes 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5, and the other is instructions for sizes 6, 7, 8 and 9

A loosely knit sweater in a fluffy yarn, makes for an airy and light sweater that still maintains warmth and coziness <3

The lace pattern centred on the front and back of the raglan yoke, naturally shapes the neckline giving it a subtle sweetheart shape, and an optional i-cord bow is the finishing touch for this effortless fluffy sweater.

Knit this top-down pullover in one colour, for a chic monochrome look or choose two (or more!) colours to emphasize the undulating yoke shaping!

Yarn Substitution

Choose a worsted - bulky weight fluffy textured yarn such as mohair, mohair blend, or brushed alpaca.

Ideas: Wool and the Gang Take Care Mohair, HipKnitShop Fluff, Katia Ingenua, Woolfolk Tage, Rowan Alpaca Sparkle, Sandnes Garn Ballerina Chunky Mohair.

Alternatively, a worsted-aran weight yarn held together with a lace weight mohair yarn could be substituted. Please gauge swatch!

The yarn amounts are estimations based on the designer’s sample made in size 1, using the recommended yarn. Total yarn usage will depend on the fibre content and structure of the yarn you use, your gauge (particularly row gauge), and any modifications you may make such as lengthening. Please ensure you have access to more yarn just in case!
