Lana Grossa 07 Pullover Jumper Knitting Pattern

Lana Grossa 07 Pullover in Ecopuno

What is Being Made

The Lana Grossa 07 Pullover in Ecopuno is a V-neck sweater designed in three sizes: 36/38, 40/42, and 44. This pullover features a classic construction with a shaped V-neckline, fitted side panels, and tailored armhole shaping. The garment is worked using a combination of body panels and decorative side gussets, creating a refined silhouette suitable for everyday wear.

Techniques Used

This pullover is constructed using the bottom-up method, where pieces are knitted from the cast-on edge upward. The garment is worked flat on straight needles rather than in the round, and all pieces are seamed together upon completion. The construction includes full-fashion decreasing at the V-neckline and armholes, which creates a professional, tailored appearance. Two-stitch selvage edges are maintained throughout for clean seaming. The side gusset panels feature shaping through strategic decreases that are worked at regular intervals to create a contoured fit.

Stitches Used

• Twisted Rib: A textured ribbing pattern worked over a multiple of 2 plus 1, with 4 selvage stitches. This stitch is created by knitting through the back loop (k1tbl) on right-side rows and purling through the back loop (p1tbl) on wrong-side rows, alternated with regular purl and knit stitches respectively. The twisted rib provides elasticity and a refined texture, particularly used in the side gusset panels.
• Garter Stitch: Knit on every row, creating a reversible, textured fabric with horizontal ridges. This stitch appears in specific sections of the pattern.
• Two-Stitch Selvage: A slip-stitch edge worked on both sides of the fabric to create clean, finished edges ideal for seaming. On right-side rows, stitches are slipped purlwise with yarn in back; on wrong-side rows, the pattern is reversed.
• Full-Fashion Decreasing: Strategic decreases positioned inward from selvage edges at the V-neckline (24 decreases per side) and armholes, creating a tailored shaping technique.

Materials

The Lana Grossa 07 Pullover is knitted with Lana Grossa Ecopuno yarn, a blend of 72% cotton, 17% Merino wool, and 11% baby alpaca. This fiber composition creates a breathable, soft, and durable fabric suitable for a pullover. The yardage required is 350 grams (approximately 755 meters) for size 36/38, 400 grams (approximately 860 meters) for size 40/42, and 450 grams (approximately 970 meters) for size 44. The yarn is worked at a gauge of 215 meters per 50 grams. The sample shown is knitted in Berry (color 40). Construction requires size 3 mm and 4 mm straight needles for the main fabric, as well as a size 3 mm circular needle measuring 40 centimeters long for neckline finishing.
