Product Description
Easton Striped Pullover by Two of Wands
What is Being Made
The Easton Striped Pullover is a slouchy drop-sleeve sweater featuring bold horizontal stripes in three coordinating colors. This casual pullover is designed for relaxed, comfortable wear and is suitable for everyday occasions such as road trips, movie nights, or autumn walks. The pattern is available in eight sizes ranging from XS to 4XL, with finished bust measurements from 42.5 inches to 68.5 inches and lengths from 21.5 inches to 25 inches.
Knitting Techniques Used
The Easton Striped Pullover is constructed using a modular approach, with the sweater worked in separate pieces that are later seamed together. The front and back panels are knitted flat from the bottom up, then joined at the shoulders. Sleeves are picked up from the body armholes and worked top-down before being seamed to the sides. A neckband is picked up and knitted after the main construction is complete. To minimize finishing work, the pattern employs color carrying techniques, with the main color carried up the sides of the front and back pieces, and both the main color and second contrast color carried up the sides of the sleeve pieces.
Stitches and Stitch Patterns
The sweater features ribbed edging at the lower edge and utilizes stockinette stitch as the primary fabric. Horizontal stripes are created by changing between the three yarn colors at specified intervals throughout the pattern. The gauge is 10.5 stitches and 15 rows per 4 inches when worked on size US 10.5 (6.5mm) needles in stockinette stitch.
Materials and Tools
The Easton Striped Pullover is knitted using Lion Brand Yarn Hue + Me, a yarn line available in multiple colorways. The pattern requires three colors: Desert (617-099) for the main color, Agave (617-173) for contrast color 1, and Arrowwood (617-132) for contrast color 2. Yardage requirements vary by size, with the main color requiring between 3 and 6 skeins, and the contrast colors requiring 2 to 3 skeins depending on the finished size.
Knitting needles required include:
- Size US 9 (5.5mm) circular needles, 16 inches long
- Size US 9 (5.5mm) circular needles, 24 inches long
- Size US 10.5 (6.5mm) circular needles, 24 inches long
Additional tools needed for completion include stitch holders, stitch markers, and a tapestry needle for seaming and weaving in ends.
Difficulty Level
This pattern is rated as Level 2 – Easy, making it suitable for beginner knitters who have basic experience with fundamental knitting techniques. The straightforward construction and use of common stitches make this an accessible project for developing knitters.
