The Everyway Pullover is a unique drop shoulder pattern that can be knitted from the top down with several yarn weights! Reedited in 2024, the pattern contains all the information needed to knit and customize your pullover, including different sleeve lengths, textured cuffs, pocket additions, and yarn blends.

The Everyway Pullover is a versatile and unique pattern by Andrea Yetman that allows you to express your creativity. Whether you prefer different sleeve lengths, cuff textures, pockets, or yarn blends, this pattern has got you covered.

Initially published in 2019, this pattern was re-edited in 2024 by Louise Robert to add two extra sizes, making it size-inclusive. Louise also included notes about sleeve shaping, different yarn options, and blends to achieve the desired gauge.

NOTES ABOUT THE CONSTRUCTION

This pullover is knit top down in a drop-sleeve construction. Since this is my favorite style of pullover, I decided to knit it in alternate yarn weights and slightly change each one to show how you can have a favorite style pullover but not look like you are wearing the same one every day!

The instructions are the same for each weight, but follow the tables for your yarn weight and size. Fingering and Sport weights are in the same section as a change in needle size was all that was required to obtain the same gauge.

This pullover looks great when worn with a positive ease that can vary between 2-6 inches.

NOTE FROM THE EDITOR ABOUT THE YARN

If you want to work with two strands, you may hold :

• 2 strands of DK weight to get a worsted weight gauge;
• 2 strands of fingering weight to get a DK weight gauge;

• Two strands of lace weight to get a fingering weight gauge;
