Timberline Lodge
Timberline Lodge
Timberline Lodge is such a fun pullover to make and to wear! The colorwork is an easy textured stitch pattern that uses only one color per row. Samples are shown in both DK and fingering weight yarn.
Ribbing detail at the shoulders really shows off the drop shoulder construction and makes this a perfectly unisex pullover. Try it on as you go (the beauty of top-down and seamless) and make it exactly the length you desire.
The pattern includes options for cowl, double-crew, and funnel neck. Shoulders and sleeve caps are shaped with short rows and there are also optional short rows to add a bit of extra length in the back for wearing comfort.
Timberline Lodge will look great in any light DK, sport or heavy fingering yarn that meets gauge and has good stitch definition. This is an intermediate level pattern that could be accessible to an advanced beginner knitter.
Sizing is unisex and inclusive with intended ease of 4-6 inches / 10-15 cm at chest.
This pattern has been professionally tech-edited and tested. Instructions are written and colorwork charts are included and explained.
