Varvara Pullover

Welcome the new season with Varvara!

My fall design worked in sport or fingering-weight yarn for a light yet cozy feel.

This classic circular-yoke sweater is knit top-down, so you can easily adjust body and sleeve lengths as you go.

Delicate decorative colorwork bands sit just above the hem and cuffs, adding a graceful finish beyond the traditional ribbing.

Perfect for layering through autumn and winter, Varvara combines timeless style with a touch of modern detail.

Knitting needles and other notions

US2 / 2.75 mm and US2 ½ /3 mm circular needles, and double pointed needles for the sleeves

(or size needed to obtain gauge)

Stitch markers

Stitch holder or waste yarn to divide sleeves

Tapestry needles to weave in ends

Gauge

24 sts x 31 rows = 4” x 4“/ 10 x 10 cm in stockinette, with US 2 ½ /3mm knitting needles

Swatch both plain stockinette and colorwork, as you might need to change needle sizes to maintain

the gauge. Block your swatch the same way you plan to block your pullover and let it fully dry before

measuring the gauge.
