The Design

“Cool, soft, transitional.”

Akin to a favorite sweatshirt, but a little more refined, this boxy pullover slips easy over layers or wears perfectly on its own. We love it all week long, all year round! This sleeveless version drops neatly off the shoulders for a relaxing fit. Our pattern gives you instructions for a longer-sleeved option, too!

Knit in Rowan Summerlite DK, this Funnel Neck Pullover is beautifully soft and lightweight. For this DK-weight yarn, Rowan uses the finest Giza cotton—the crème de la crème of Egyptian cotton. Soft and tactile with a gentle matte look, Summerlite DK is perfect for a light, summer-friendly pullover!

KNITTER'S NOTES

We love the versatility of this garment. Play with different yarns or yarn combinations to create a fabric you’ll love. Knit a generous swatch, one that’s at least 6” x 6”. And don’t skip the wet blocking. After your swatch has a chance to rest, it will tell you if you’ve got a nice fabric that has both drape and body.

With the generous amount of ease built into this garment, try thinking in terms of what type of ease you would like, instead of a specific size. You may find that there are multiple sizes that would suit you, lending to a wide range of styling options!
