Beatrice Pullover in Adriafil Stars Print

What is Being Made

The Beatrice Pullover is a classic knitted sweater available in four sizes: Small (US 6), Medium (US 8), Large (US 10), and Extra Large (US 12). This garment features the distinctive Adriafil Stars Print in colour number 47, creating a visually interesting texture throughout the piece. The pullover is constructed using traditional sweater-making techniques with separate front, back, and sleeve pieces that are assembled together.

Techniques Used

This knitting project employs fundamental sweater construction methods suitable for knitters with basic to intermediate experience. The pattern uses casting on to establish the foundation stitches for each piece, followed by continuous knitting in the primary stitch. Increasing stitches is incorporated at the sleeve ends to create the proper sleeve cap shaping, with increases worked every 16 rows across three separate occasions. Binding off techniques are used strategically to shape the armholes and create finished edges. The pattern also requires seaming the completed pieces together using a tapestry needle, which is essential for assembling the front, back, and sleeves into a finished garment.

Stitches Used

• Knit Stitch: The sole stitch used throughout the entire Beatrice Pullover, creating a classic, uniform fabric texture

Materials Required

This downloadable PDF pattern calls for 300 grams of Adriafil Stars yarn in print colour number 47. The pattern specifies knitting needles size 8 (US sizing) as the primary tool for constructing all pieces. A tapestry needle with a rounded tip is required for seaming the finished pieces together and weaving in yarn ends.

Gauge and Sizing

The pattern establishes a gauge of 9 stitches and 14 rows per 10 x 10 centimeter square when working in knit stitch with size 8 needles. This gauge is essential for achieving the correct finished dimensions across all four available sizes.
