Strata Pullover

$8.75

Worked seamlessly top-down in the round from the collar to bottom hem, Strata Pullover features a beginner friendly stranded and mosaic (slip-stitch) colorwork yoke utilizing a combination of four colorways (with only two colors ever being worked in a single round). This pattern is written for two body length options, Cropped or Standard and is finished with a long sleeve, adorned with a colorwork motif and contrast cuff.

Strata Pullover is worked from the top down, allowing you to try it on as you go and easily adjust the finished length to your preference. This sweater is knit primarily in the round, with exception for German short rows incorporated below the collar, to raise the back of the neck slightly. Strata Pullover is designed to fit with 1-4” / 2.5-10 cm of positive ease, to allow for a relaxed & comfortable fit.

With many color combination possibilities, I hope you will find the Strata Pullover to be a staple in your wardrobe.

This is an advanced-beginner or intermediate level pattern. The colorwork is charted only.
