Audrey’s Pullover

$9.00

Audrey’s Pullover is a seamless, top-down raglan sweater featuring a v-shaped neckline, high/low split hem and optional subtle striping. It also includes instructions for either no body shaping or an A-line silhouette.

This is the third sweater in the Audrey series! It all started 14 years ago with Audrey’s First Day (the toddler/child cardi version), then came Audrey’s Cardigan (teen/adult cardi) and now there’s Audrey’s Pullover (teen/adult pullover)

Pattern includes link to in-depth “tips page” which includes: how to pick a size, gauge swatching tips, how to join Fronts together after neck shaping and video lessons on working jogless 1-row stripes in the round and how to pick-up stitches for neckline and working mitered rib trim (and more!).

I used the versatile worsted-weight Vintage by Berroco. At a stitch gauge of 20 sts = 4″/10 cm, either worsted or DK-weight yarn would work well! Full pattern details can be found below.

Construction:

  • Audrey’s Pullover is knit all in one piece from the top-down and features raglan construction to shape the yoke.
  • It’s worked flat in the beginning as the neckline is shaped, and then joined to work in the round.
  • Sleeves are split at the underarm and body is worked in one piece to the hem with options to either work no body shaping or A-line shaping.
  • Front & Back hems are split and worked separately to create split high/low hemline.
  • Sleeves are transferred to DPNs (or you can use 32”/80 cm circ for magic loop method) and worked in the round to the cuff.
  • Stitches are picked up along the neckline and worked in a mitered rib stitch to create the trim.
