Lang 251-06 Pullover Jumper Knitting Pattern

Lang 251-06 Pullover by Lang Yarns

What Is Being Made

The Lang 251-06 is a short-sleeved pullover sweater designed in four sizes: S, M, L, and XL. This classic pullover features a crew neckline and is constructed with a structured fit, offering bust measurements of 92, 100, 108, and 116 centimeters respectively. The garment length ranges from 60 to 64 centimeters depending on size, making it a versatile piece suitable for various body types and style preferences.

Construction Techniques

This pullover is worked using a bottom-up seamed construction, meaning the knitter begins at the lower edge and works upward toward the shoulders. The pieces are worked flat on straight needles, then assembled together using seaming techniques. This traditional method allows for easier adjustments during the knitting process and creates clean, professional-looking seams when the garment is finished.

Stitches and Stitch Patterns

The Lang 251-06 incorporates two distinct stitch patterns throughout the design:

• Pattern I: A textured rib pattern worked on 4mm needles consisting of alternating purl and knit stitches (p1, k2, p1 repeat). This creates a classic ribbed texture that provides elasticity and structure, particularly suitable for cuffs, waistbands, and necklines. On subsequent rows, stitches are worked as they face the knitter, maintaining the established rib pattern.
• Pattern II: An eyelet pattern worked on 4.5mm needles with stitch counts divisible by 4 plus 2 edge stitches. This openwork pattern adds visual interest and breathability to the garment, creating decorative holes that are characteristic of lace or eyelet designs.

Materials and Tools Required

The Lang 251-06 is designed to be knitted with Lang Yarns Splash, a blend of cotton and polyacrylic fiber that combines the breathability of natural cotton with the durability and easy-care properties of acrylic. Yardage requirements vary by size: size S requires 400 grams (4 balls), sizes M and L require 500 grams (5 balls each), and size XL requires 600 grams (6 balls).

Knitting needles required include ADDI needles in sizes 4mm (US 6, UK 8) and 4.5mm (US 7) for working the different stitch patterns. A short circular needle in size 4mm is also needed for finishing details such as neckline ribbing. The combination of needle sizes allows the knitter to achieve proper gauge and tension throughout the garment while working between the ribbed and eyelet pattern sections.

Yarn Characteristics

Lang Yarns Splash is available in the colorway off-white-grey for this pattern. The cotton-acrylic blend provides a balanced fabric that is comfortable for warm-weather wear while remaining easy to care for and maintain. This fiber composition makes the finished pullover suitable for extended wear across multiple seasons.
