Linden Street Pullover

Linden Street Pullover by Kephren Pritchett

Garment Overview

The Linden Street Pullover is a seamless, top-down raglan sweater that combines classic construction with sophisticated lace detailing. This intermediate-level knitting pattern creates a casual yet refined pullover elevated through the use of soft tweed yarn and delicate lace accents throughout the design.

Design Features and Construction

This pullover is worked seamlessly from the neck down, beginning with a simple raglan construction. The design employs differential increase rates on the body and sleeves to create a curved shoulder shaping that provides a flattering fit. The garment is available in five sizes: XS, S, M, L, and XL, with finished bust circumferences ranging from 32 inches (81.5 cm) to 48 inches (122 cm). The pattern is designed to be worn with 2 to 4 inches (5 to 10 cm) of positive ease for comfortable wear.

Lace Details and Stitch Work

The raglan lines are decorated with a narrow lace pattern that resembles interlocking chains, adding visual interest to the shoulder seams. The three-quarter length sleeves contribute to the sweater's sophisticated aesthetic. The lower body features a cropped silhouette with a coordinating lace-weight skirt worked in a wide rib pattern designed to mimic pleats, creating additional texture and movement.

Yarn and Materials

The Linden Street Pullover is worked in soft tweed yarn for the main body of the sweater, with a coordinating lace-weight yarn used for the skirt section. The pattern accommodates multiple yarn weights, including 4-ply, DK (double knit), and lace-weight options, allowing knitters flexibility in yarn selection while maintaining the intended design aesthetic.

Skill Level

This pattern is rated as intermediate difficulty, making it suitable for knitters with experience in basic garment construction and comfort with seamless top-down raglan techniques and lace knitting fundamentals.
