CONSTRUCTION
Mid Mountain Pullover is a deeply yoked, colourwork pullover that is worked from the top-down seamlessly in the round. It begins with a mock-neck collar in corrugated ribbing, transitioning to increasing the yoke through stockinette in one colour and working short rows, before working two-colour colourwork towards the end of the yoke. Only two colours are used throughout the charts, and floats are no longer than five stitches. Purl rounds add textural interest to the colourwork sections. Colourwork continues on to the body, which is finished in one colour to the hem. Colourwork continues onto the sleeves which contain minimal shaping until the cuffs, which are worked in corrugated ribbing. This garment fits loosely through the yoke, body and sleeves, but is fitted at neckline and cuffs.

SPECIAL TECHNIQUES REQUIRED
working in the round, corrugated ribbing, short rows, stranded colourwork, Sewn Italian Bind-off.

HOW TO CHOOSE YOUR SIZE

This pattern is size inclusive with 11 size options. Using your full bust measurement, choose a size that will give you 2-5 inches/5-12cm of positive ease at bust (the difference between body’s smaller measurements and the garment’s larger measurements at these points). See schematic on next page. The most fool-proof method is to measure a similar fitting top in your wardrobe and choose a garment size that matches.
