Noro Textured Panel Pullover
What is Being Made
The Noro Textured Panel Pullover is an intermediate-level knitted sweater designed as a pullover garment. This project is available in five sizes: Small, Medium, Large, X-Large, and XX-Large, with finished bust measurements ranging from 37¼ inches (94.5 cm) to 53¼ inches (135 cm). The sweater features a classic pullover silhouette with finished lengths between 21½ inches (54.5 cm) and 24½ inches (62 cm), and upper arm circumferences from 14 inches (35.5 cm) to 17 inches (43 cm).
Construction Techniques
This pullover is constructed using a bottom-up approach, meaning the knitter begins at the lower edge and works upward toward the shoulders and neckline. The garment is seamed, requiring the knitter to join separate pieces together after completion. The sweater is worked flat on straight needles rather than in the round, which means each piece is knitted back and forth in rows, creating distinct front and back panels that are later sewn together.
Stitches and Stitch Techniques
The Textured Panel Pullover employs several fundamental knitting stitches and techniques to create its textured design:
- Knit and Purl Stitches: The foundation of the pattern, used to create the textured panels that give this sweater its distinctive appearance.
- Increases: Accomplished through methods such as knitting in the front and back of a stitch, and using make one techniques (both knitwise and purlwise variations) to add stitches within rows as needed for shaping.
- Decreases: Performed using knit 2 together and purl 2 together reductions, as well as slip, slip, knit (or slip, slip, purl) techniques to decrease stitches and shape the garment.
- Selvage Stitches: Edge stitches incorporated along the sides of panels to facilitate easier and neater seaming when joining pieces together.
- Stitch Markers: Used to mark important points in the pattern, helping the knitter track pattern repeats and shaping sections.
- Chart Reading: The pattern includes knitting charts that may contain "no stitch" spaces indicating areas where stitches have been decreased or not yet created, requiring the knitter to skip over these shaded spaces while working.
Materials
The Noro Textured Panel Pullover is designed to be knitted with Noro Silk Garden Solo yarn in colorway #63. The yardage required depends on the selected size, ranging from 7 skeins for the smallest size to 11 skeins for the largest size, with each skein weighing 50 grams.
The project requires three needles: one pair of size US 6/4mm straight needles, one pair of size US 8/5mm straight needles, and one size US 6/4mm circular needle measuring 16 inches (40 cm) in length. The use of two different needle sizes allows for gauge control and varied stitch definition throughout the sweater.
