It’s been an amazing experience designing independent knitting patterns these last 12+ years. And throughout it, the many life changes, including a fantastic full-time job, have pulled me from my ability to maintain the upkeep and customer service needed. I’ve decided to close the store and retire all the patterns. It may not be forever, but I need to follow my heart towards other projects for now.

My patterns and pattern support will no longer be available after August 1, 2021.

Until that date, please enjoy a closing discount of 50% off on all patterns (no coupon code needed). Thank you for so many years of support and knitting!

Texture through garter stitch and supple, simple cables is the magic of this pullover. The Genia Pullover is worked flat with beautifully shaped set-in sleeves while the resulting silhouette is classic, fitted, and comfortable. Add in the lovely v-neck and you have a wonderfully feminine sweater that fits perfectly into your Autumn and Winter wardrobe. Originally published in the Capra 2013 Collection from Knit Picks.

My patterns are filled with beautiful photos, easy to read text, eye-catching layout, and everything you need to know in order to complete the project. Genia Pullover offers both written and charted instructions for your preference. Also note that measurements are provided in standard and metric units.
