Spicy Stem Pullover by Teti's Knit Garden
What is Being Made
The Spicy Stem Pullover is a seamless, top-down knit sweater designed as a versatile, easy-to-modify pullover suitable for various body types. This beginner-friendly garment features a well-fitted round yoke with textural ribbing details and straight body and sleeve sections gathered at the hem and cuffs for a finished silhouette.
Construction Technique
This pullover is worked seamlessly in the round, beginning at the neckline and progressing downward. The construction method eliminates the need for seaming, creating a smooth, continuous garment. The yoke is carefully shaped to provide a fitted shoulder and neck area, while the body and sleeves extend straight down without additional shaping, allowing for easy customization and fit adjustments.
Stitches and Stitch Details
The pattern incorporates textural ribbing as a key design element, featured prominently on the neck, hem, and cuffs. These ribbed sections provide both functional stretch and visual interest. The ribbing is worked using a triple yarn hold for added elasticity and definition, while the main body sections use a double yarn hold for appropriate fabric weight and drape.
