Admix Pullover

• Product description

  Mix colors and fibers together to create your own custom fabric in this comfortable pullover that employs an easy-to-work tuck stitch variation on moss stitch. We combined a smooth, workhorse wool (Arbor) with a tonally-dyed merino-cotton blend (Dapple) for a nuanced fabric that has it all: texture, drape, and color variation. Choose any DK weight yarn and fiber combination to make uniquely personal fabrics of your own. Try a hand-dye or self-striping yarn as your contrast color for more painterly effects. You might also try keeping your main color constant throughout, while using multiple contrast colors for subtle background striping or colorblock effects. Be creative and make a sweater that you love!

  "Choose from three different body lengths (semi-cropped, classic, or tall) and two sleeve lengths (long or half) to get the proportion that feels like the best fit for the wearer. Nautical-inspired details like garter rib bands along the upper sleeve and a double-folded ribbed neckband give the finished garment a thoughtful air of quality." — designer, Jared Flood

  CONSTRUCTION

  • The Front and Back are worked flat, separately, from the bottom up in the same manner. As lower body is worked, waist increases are incorporated to gently shape the garment’s silhouette. The armhole is shaped with a combination of bound-off stitches, decreases, and increases depending on the size to achieve a consistent fit for each size. Stitches are bound off for the center neck and the remainder of the upper body will be worked from two separate balls of yarn per side. The shoulders are also shaped with a sloped bind off as you finish the upper body.
  • After completion of the Front and Back, the pieces are seamed together at the shoulders. Sleeve stitches are picked up directly from the armhole edge (indicated by the placed markers on both Front and Back). Sleeves are worked flat from the top down and shaped using evenly-spaced decreases along either edge of the fabric between upper arm and cuff.
  • The garment is seamed along the sides and sleeves. A doubled neckband is picked up and worked circularly, then tacked down to the WS of the garment.
