Multigrain pullover

This product is a knitting pattern that provides only the instructions to create the item—it does not include a finished garment. Please read the full description. The pattern may include additional instructions for design variations.

This comfy, midweight pullover in 10 sizes (XS to L and 1X through 6X) is knit from the bottom up in the round with raglan shaping. The cozy, “grandpa sweater” look combines a knit/purl waffle texture with braided cabled seamlines and narrow stripe details—in both crew neck and V-neck options. With just a short underarm seam to finish, this pullover is a speedy, relaxing project for both experienced knitters and adventurous beginners.
