Samsø Pullover knittingforolive_new

Samsø Pullover features a timeless and classic two-colored stripe pattern and wide sleeves. An elegant half-twisted rib finishes the hem, cuffs and neckline. It is knit top down, both flat and in the round with one strand of either Cotton Merino or Merino.

The front and back are worked separately back and forth down to the underarms where the two pieces are joined and the body subsequently continued in the round. Afterwards, sleeve stitches are picked up and worked in the round. A half-twisted rib in the main color finishes the neckline and edges on the body and sleeves. The stripe pattern is worked over 10 rows/rounds by alternating 4 rows/rounds in contrast color and 6 rows/rounds in main color throughout. The length of the body and sleeves can easily be adjusted. Samsø Pullover is designed with positive ease. To choose the correct size, look at the ‘to fit chest circumference’ measurements on the previous page.
