Grace by LAMANA

This pattern is available on Ravelry.

The pullover with a decorative mistletoe-pattern in the yoke, is worked seamlessly top down and starts with a rolled border at the neckline border, then continues in ribbing, the plunging front neckline is formed by using short rows. Then work continues exclusively in the round.

The stranded colorwork pattern is worked acc to chart, either using Como as well (Variant A), or double stranded using Milano and Premia (Variant B), inc’s are almost always worked in main color on different places between leaf-patterns by yarn overs, which are knitted through the back loop in next rnd. The mistletoe-berries are embroidered on the yoke afterwards.

The length of the pullover can be adjusted individually, in that case, more yarn might be needed in the main color.

GAUGE

23 sts and 34 rnds using ndl size 3.5 mm (US 4/UK 10 or 9) in plain St st = 10 x 10 cm / 4” square
The specified gauge of 23 sts and 34 rnds also applies to the stranded colorwork pattern. Because the tension will be different here due to the yarn being carried along at the back of the work, a swatch should also be worked for the stranded colorwork pattern – it may be necessary to use a different ndl size here than for knitting in plain St st. The following applies to both stitch patterns: please adjust needle size if necessary, to obtain correct gauge.

NEEDLES

40 cm / 16” and 80–100 cm / 32-40” circular ndls sizes 3.25 mm (US 3/UK 10) and 3.5 mm (US 4/UK 10 or 9), optionally dpns in both sizes instead of short circular needles
