Everyday Pullover Pattern

This is a printed pattern on heavy card stock. No digital download option available. If you would like digital, visit Ravelry listing here

Here’s a lighter-gauge riff on our easy-fitting Better-Than-Basic Pullover. We added twisted eyelet stitch ribbing to the collar, cuffs, and hem of the tunic version. For the hip length version, we cropped the hem and sleeves and left off edgings entirely for sweatshirt simplicity.

We knit the Everyday Pullover in two different DK-weight yarns—Rowan Alpaca Classic (131 yds/120m per skein), Color 104. Model is wearing 51"/129cm finished bust size with 8"/20cm b for the tunic-length version and Rowan Softyak DK for the hip-length version.
