Materials Needed
- Yarn: Worsted weight wool yarn in midnight blue and snow white
- Needles: US 8 (5mm) knitting needles
- Gauge: 18 stitches and 24 rows = 4 inches in stockinette stitch
Step-by-Step Instructions
- Cast On: Begin by casting on 180 stitches using the long-tail cast-on method. Ensure that you join in the round carefully to avoid twisting the stitches. Place a stitch marker to indicate the beginning of the round.
- Waistband: Work in 2x2 ribbing (knit 2, purl 2) for 3 inches. This will form the waistband of your pullover.
- Body: Transition to stockinette stitch by knitting all stitches. Continue working evenly in stockinette stitch for 10 inches.
- Cable Pattern:
- Row 1: *Knit 4 stitches, place 4 stitches on a cable needle and hold in front, knit 4 stitches, then knit the 4 stitches from the cable needle; repeat from * around.
- Rows 2-6: Knit all stitches.
- Shape Armholes: Bind off 8 stitches at the beginning of the next 2 rounds. Then, decrease 1 stitch at each end of the next 6 rounds to shape the armholes.
- Continue Pattern: Keep working in the established pattern until the piece measures 24 inches from the cast-on edge.
- Shape Shoulders: Bind off 20 stitches at the beginning of the next 4 rows to shape the shoulders of your pullover.
- High Neck: To create the high neck, pick up and knit 80 stitches evenly around the neckline. Work in 2x2 ribbing for 4 inches. Once completed, bind off loosely to ensure comfort.
- Finishing Touches: Sew the shoulder seams together and weave in all loose ends to complete your pullover.
