Cora Plaid Pullover

The Cora Plaid Pullover is a boxy pullover that is perfect for summer knitting and layering! The body features a large twisted stitch motif from Norah Gaughan’s Twisted Stitch Sourcebook. The fitted ribbed sleeves offer a nice balance to the oversized body. The Cora Plaid Pullover is knit up in Universal Yarn’s Bamboo Pop yarn, a blend of bamboo and cotton, making it cool to wear and giving a lovely weighted drape to the fabric.

Construction: The Cora Plaid Pullover is knit from the bottom up in the round to the armholes, where the yoke is divided. The front and back of the yoke are worked flat with German short rows for shoulder shaping. Shoulders are seamed and the neckline stitches are picked up and worked in the round. The sleeves are picked up and worked outward from the body in the round.
