Berroco Lane's Island Pullover
What is Being Made
Lane's Island Pullover is an oversized knit sweater designed by Lori Versaci. This intermediate-level pullover features a relaxed fit with finished bust measurements available in four sizes: 48", 54", 60", and 64". The garment is designed with intentional positive ease, with the sample shown in the 54" size featuring approximately 18" of ease for a comfortable, roomy silhouette. Length options range from 22" to 25" depending on size selection.
Construction Techniques
Lane's Island Pullover is constructed using a bottom-up seamed method. The back, front, and sleeves are each worked separately from the bottom edge upward, then assembled together using seaming. This approach allows for precise shaping and fit adjustments before pieces are joined. After the main seams are completed, the neckline edging is picked up and worked in the round for a finished edge. The pattern also includes pocket details that are placed on stitch holders during the initial knitting, then completed and sewn on during the finishing stage.
Stitches and Stitch Patterns
The primary stitch used throughout this pullover is Stockinette Stitch (St st), which creates a smooth, classic knit fabric. The hem features a ribbed pattern worked in a 2x2 rib (alternating knit 2, purl 2) that provides structure and elasticity at the garment edges. The ribbed hem is worked in two colors, beginning with the main color and transitioning to the contrast color, creating a subtle striped detail at the lower edge.
Materials and Tools
This pattern calls for Berroco Ultra Wool DK yarn, a worsted-weight option that knits to a gauge of 24 stitches and 32 rows over 4 inches in Stockinette Stitch. The project requires 3 balls each of two colorways (3, 3, 3, or 4 balls depending on size) in colors #83109 Fog (main color) and #83103 Wheat (contrast color). Each ball weighs 100 grams.
Needles and notions include a 32" circular needle in size 5 (3.75 mm) for the main body and hem, a 16" circular needle in the same size for the neckline edging, and 2 stitch holders for managing pocket stitches during construction. Checking gauge before beginning is essential to ensure accurate finished measurements.
