Lana Grossa Ecopuno Pullover – Model 02 from Filati Journal 61 (Downloadable PDF Knitting Pattern)

This free downloadable PDF knitting pattern from Lana Grossa presents Model 02 from Filati Journal 61: a classic pullover (Pulli) worked in the brand's signature Ecopuno yarn. The pattern is written in German and covers two sizes, making it a versatile choice for knitters looking for a refined, lightweight sweater with elegant stitch detail.

What Is Being Made

The finished project is a fitted pullover sweater designed for women. It features a straight neckline, shaped armhole openings, and a delicate eyelet (lace) pattern as the main body fabric. The silhouette is clean and contemporary, suited to everyday wear as well as smarter occasions. Two sizes are provided: 36/38 and 40/42 (European sizing), with instructions for the larger size noted in parentheses throughout the pattern.

Materials Required

• Yarn: Lana Grossa Ecopuno – a premium blend of 72% cotton, 17% virgin wool (Merino), and 11% baby alpaca, with an approximate yardage of 215 metres per 50 g skein. The colourway specified is Ecru (shade 46).
• Quantity: Approximately 250 g for size 36/38 and 300 g for size 40/42.
• Knitting Needles: Two sizes are needed – 3.5 mm (Nr. 3,5) and 4.5 mm (Nr. 4,5) straight or circular knitting needles.

Yarn Characteristics

Lana Grossa Ecopuno is a carefully constructed multi-fibre blend that combines the breathability and softness of cotton with the elasticity and warmth of Merino wool and the luxurious handle of baby alpaca. This combination produces a yarn that drapes beautifully, holds stitch definition well, and is comfortable against the skin – qualities that make it particularly well suited to a lace-patterned garment where the open stitches need to lie flat and show clearly.

Stitches and Techniques Used

• Knötchenrand (bobble or seed-stitch border): A textured edging stitch used at the cast-on and border sections to create a neat, decorative finish that lies flat without rolling.
• Lochmuster (eyelet / lace pattern): The main body of the pullover is worked in an eyelet or openwork pattern using needle size 4.5 mm. This technique involves deliberate yarn-overs paired with decreases to create a repeating pattern of small holes, adding lightness and visual interest to the fabric.
• Glatt rechts (stockinette / stocking stitch): Referenced as a base or transitional fabric, worked smoothly with knit stitches on the right side and purl stitches on the wrong side.
• Armhole shaping: Stitches are cast off on both sides simultaneously after reaching the required body length – 12 stitches bound off on each side – to form the armhole openings. The shaping is worked after approximately 29 cm (size 36/38) or 32 cm (size 40/42) from the cast-on edge.
• Shoulder and neckline shaping: After working the full armhole depth of 21 cm (size 36/38) or 22 cm (size 40/42), all remaining stitches are cast off. Shoulder stitches (11 stitches per side for 36/38, 15 stitches per side for 40/42) and the straight centre neckline stitches are bound off in a single row to create a clean, horizontal neckline edge.
• Needle changes: The smaller 3.5 mm needles are used for the border and edging sections, while the larger 4.5 mm needles are used for the main eyelet pattern body – a standard technique for ensuring that rib
