Product Description
Dreamland Pullover by Pamela Wynne
What Is Being Made
The Dreamland Pullover is a modern crewneck sweater from the Modern Amusements Collection, designed by Pamela Wynne. This knitted garment is available in eight sizes ranging from extra-small through 4X, with finished bust measurements from 29½ inches to 58½ inches and length measurements from 21 inches to 24½ inches. The pullover features a classic construction with set-in sleeves and a ribbed neckline, making it a versatile layering piece suitable for various body types and preferences.
Craft and Techniques
This is a knitting project worked primarily in the round using circular needles and double-pointed needles. The construction begins with the body, which is cast on and worked circularly from the bottom up. The sweater employs top-down sleeve construction, where sleeves are worked separately and then joined to the body at the armholes. The pattern uses waste yarn to hold underarm stitches, a technique that allows for seamless integration of sleeves into the body. The ribbed sections are created using alternating knit and purl stitches, which provide elasticity and structure to the neckline and cuff areas.
Stitches Used
- Stockinette Stitch (St st): The primary stitch throughout the body and sleeves, creating a smooth, classic knit fabric
- Ribbing (K1, P1): Used for the cuff sections and neckline to create elasticity and a finished appearance
- Knit and Purl combinations: Alternated to form the textured ribbed sections
- Increases (kfb—knit into front and back of stitch): Used to shape the sleeves and adjust stitch counts
- Bind off: Used to finish edges and secure stitches
Materials and Yarn
The Dreamland Pullover is designed to be made with Juniper Moon Farm Moonshine yarn. The main color (MC) requires 5 to 8 hanks depending on size, with the sample shown in color #28 Lazy Sunday. A contrast color (CC) accent is incorporated, requiring 1 hank of Juniper Moon Farm Moonshine in color #16 Charcoal, which appears in the sleeve cuffs. This yarn choice provides a soft, wearable fabric suitable for everyday wear.
Needles and Notions
The pattern calls for US 7 (4.5mm) circular needles measuring 24 inches in length paired with a set of five double-pointed needles in the same size for the main fabric. US 6 (4mm) needles in both circular and double-pointed formats are used for the ribbed sections, creating a slightly tighter gauge that provides structure. Additional notions include a tapestry needle for weaving in ends and stitch markers to track pattern repeats and construction points.
Gauge
The pattern specifies a gauge of 20 stitches and 28 rows equals 4 inches (10 cm) in Stockinette Stitch on the larger needles. Achieving the correct gauge is essential for proper fit and finished measurements, as variations will affect the overall dimensions of the completed sweater.
