Poet
This pattern can be found in issue 6 of Laine Magazine.
ERRATA Errata is only for the Laine Magazine. The digital version has individual charts for each size and none of the misprints of the physical magazine.
Chart B, row 39 box 64 should be a yarn over, not a knit st.
Chart B: A couple of rows missing from the top of the chart. After row 66 knit following the pattern repeat from row 45 upwards.
Chart A, error on the right-hand page (p.117) for sizes M, L, XL. The blue line has dropped one row throughout the page. The line is correct on the left page, use that side as guidance as the two sides are mirrored.
The Poet pullover is knitted seamlessly from the top down. The neck shaping is worked flat after which the rest of the pullover is worked in the round. The lace pattern is knitted on both front and back. The raglan sleeves are of ¾ length with long cuffs that can be folded double. The sleeves are worked in stockinette stitch. The neckband is worked last by picking up stitches along the cast-on edge. Due to the raglan increases worked in the lace pattern this pattern is better suited for intermediate and advanced knitters.
Poet pullover was originally published in Laine magazine issue 6 Heritage in September 2018. I knitted the sample pullover with Tukuwool fingering, in the shade Runo. That is where the pullover got its name from, actually. (Runo means a poem in Finnish).
I want the clothes I design and wear to be versatile, so that not only do they work on their own but compliment everything else I already own. I think this rustic yarn and the natural shade make the pullover work on every occasion: it’s great for layering, it works with jeans and sneakers and you can even wear it to a party with a pleated skirt and high heels. However, Poet works beautifully in bright colors too if you are looking for a statement piece for your wardrobe!
