Pullover by Woolly Hooligan Designs

Samarkand has a marvelous and attractive power. It is a city of unique antiquity spirit, amazing history and unbelievable colours.

Although I have never travelled there, I just could not resist calling this pullover in honour of this magical city.

The Yarn Collective make amazing fibers. I simply loved knitting this sweater. This yarn is merino wool but like silk glides through fingers like butter.

Bloomsbury DK is perfect for this cool pullover. It drapes beautifully and has amazing stitch definition. Not to mention the colour pooling/variations are much striking.

I designed the back to be longer, as we all need a bit of extra coverage in that area. Am I right? Lol. Roomy, loose fitting, it’s easy to make this sweater one of your comfiest ever. A bit cropped in the front to show off a great dress or skirt. I love knitting slightly unusual and unexpected shapes.

This sweater flatters in just the right places. Looser sleeves with colorwork repeated around the cuffs.

Meant to fit with ease of about 5 inches plus in bust. Measure bust and knit the larger size. Please take time to achieve gauge. Using different yarn, please expect results will vary.
