Lana Grossa Pullover Jumper Knitting Pattern

Lana Grossa Pullover in Benessere & Silkhair

What Is Being Made

This is a knitted pullover sweater featuring a sophisticated two-yarn construction. The garment is worked in three sizes (36/38, 40/42, and 44/46) and combines a textured body pattern with ribbed and garter stitch details. The design incorporates a collar feature and uses strategic increases and decreases to shape the garment.

Construction Technique

The pullover is worked flat on straight needles and then seamed together. This construction method allows for precise stitch control and pattern alignment. The garment is built in pieces, with the body worked as a single large rectangle from which the back and front sections are divided. Sleeves are created through strategic cast-on and bind-off sequences, and the collar is added through additional cast-on stitches that are worked into the established pattern.

Stitches and Stitch Patterns Used

• Rib Pattern: Knit 2, purl 2 (K2, P2) ribbing creates elasticity and structure
• Garter Stitch: Knit every row, used for side edges and collar details to provide stability and texture contrast
• Body Pattern: A charted pattern worked over a multiple of 5 stitches, creating the main textured design across the garment

Yarn and Materials

This pullover uses a sophisticated two-yarn combination worked together throughout:

• Lana Grossa Benessere: 300–400 grams depending on size (125 meters per 50 grams). Composition: 45% cotton, 32% alpaca, 23% polyamide. Color: Natural/Light Grey (col 2). This yarn provides structure and breathability.
• Lana Grossa Silkhair: 150–250 grams depending on size (210 meters per 25 grams). Composition: 70% mohair, 30% silk. Color: Grey/Green (col 105). This yarn adds luxury, softness, and a subtle sheen.
• Needle and Hook Requirements: Size 7 mm and 8 mm knitting needles for the main fabric, and a size 5 mm crochet hook for finishing details

Yarn Pairing Method

The pattern specifies working 1 strand of Benessere held together with 2 strands of Silkhair throughout the entire project. This creates a balanced blend where the silk and mohair luxury fibers are prominent while the cotton-alpaca base provides structure and wearability. The doubled Silkhair strands contribute softness and visual interest to the finished fabric.

Key Pattern Features

The design includes strategic shaping through increases worked into the established body pattern, creating a fitted silhouette. The collar construction involves casting on additional stitches and binding them off at specific points, adding a refined neckline detail. The piece measures approximately 60.5–68.5 centimeters from sleeve cast-on to the division point, providing substantial length and coverage.
