Constellation Pullover
This sweater is the perfect pullover for a dusky stroll under a night sky. The tweedy flecks in the yarn create a constellation as individual and unique as the wearer. Designed with warmth, comfort, and ease in mind, the Constellation Pullover is both timeless and gender-inclusive.
It's knit flat and seamed, with a modified drop shoulder and a relaxed fit. The funnel neck is cozy and warm and stays upright with a fold over on the inside. Sleeves are picked up and worked down to the deep cuff, allowing for custom fit. Coordinated ribbing at the hem hangs straight at the hips for a flattering finish.
One strand of Aran weight yarn and one strand of lace weight mohair are held together throughout. The two different yarn bases don’t need to be the same color. A quick way to sample color is to hold the two strands together and wrap them around something (cardboard, ruler, finger). Play around with strongly contrasting colors or tonally different colors to see the effect. Optional gradient stripes are worked by changing colors of the kid mohair strand.
