Agio Pullover in Adriafil Mito – Free Knitting Pattern Summary

The Agio Pullover is a beautifully textured, oversized-style knitted sweater designed for confident knitters who want to explore decorative lace and cable-adjacent techniques in a super chunky weight yarn. This free downloadable PDF pattern is published using Adriafil Mito yarn and produces a striking pullover that combines elegant openwork panels with classic ribbing, making it a rewarding project for those comfortable with intermediate-level knitting techniques.

What Is Being Made

The finished project is a pullover sweater — a knitted garment worked in pieces and seamed together. The design is sized for a size 44 (with adjustments for sizes 42 and 46), making it a versatile pattern for a range of adult fits. The aesthetic is defined by its bold lace panels set against a simpler knit background, creating visual interest without excessive complexity once the pattern repeats are understood.

Materials Required

• Yarn: Adriafil Mito, colour number 12 — 500 grams total required
• Knitting Needles: Size 12mm straight knitting needles
• Two-tip cable needle — used for working cable or crossing stitches
• Tapestry needle — for seaming and finishing

Adriafil Mito is a super chunky weight yarn, which means this pullover knits up quickly on large needles, producing a cosy, substantial fabric with excellent stitch definition. The super chunky classification makes this an ideal project for knitters who want impressive results in a shorter timeframe compared to finer weight garments.

Techniques Used

• Flat knitting — the pullover is worked in flat panels rather than in the round
• Lace knitting — two distinct lace stitch patterns are incorporated into the design, featuring yarn overs and central double decreases to create decorative openwork columns
• Ribbing — k1/p1 rib stitch is used, typically at hems, cuffs, and neckbands to provide elasticity and a neat finish
• Seaming and finishing — a tapestry needle is required, indicating the garment pieces are sewn together after knitting
• Cable needle usage — a two-tip cable needle is listed among the materials, suggesting crossing or cabling elements are present in the construction

Stitches Used

• Knit stitch — the foundational stitch used throughout the body of the pullover
• Purl stitch — used in combination with knit stitches to form ribbing and to frame the lace panels
• K1/P1 Rib Stitch — alternating knit and purl stitches across a row, creating a stretchy, classic ribbed texture
• Lace Stitch A — worked over 21 stitches, this is an 8-row repeat lace panel featuring yarn overs and a central slip 1, knit 2 together, pass slipped stitch over (sk2po) double decrease. The pattern shifts the position of the yarn over and decrease pairing across rows 1, 3, 5, and 7, creating a travelling lace diamond or chevron effect
• Lace Stitch B — worked over 11 stitches, this is a narrower lace panel using the same yarn over and central double decrease principle, framed by purl stitches on each side, creating a single column of openwork
• Yarn over (YO) — used within both lace patterns to create deliberate eyelets and to maintain stitch count after decreases
• Slip 1, Knit 2 Together, Pass Slipped Stitch Over (sk2po) — a central double decrease that removes two stitches while keeping the resulting stitch centred, essential to the symmetry of both lace panels
