Pattern Summary: Lana Grossa Ecopuno Pullover – Modell 23 (Lookbook 10)

This free downloadable PDF knitting pattern from Lana Grossa provides instructions for a classic, elegantly simple pullover (jumper) worked in the brand's signature Ecopuno yarn. The design is offered in four sizes — 36/38, 40/42, 44/46, and 48 — making it accessible to a wide range of knitters. The sweater is worked in a neutral, timeless colorway using two complementary shades: Ecru (Fb 46) and Beige (Fb 55), giving the finished garment a soft, natural aesthetic that suits both casual and refined wardrobes.

What Is Being Made

The pattern produces a pullover sweater with a structured front, back, and set-in or shaped sleeves. The garment features a shaped neckline on the front piece, worked with carefully graduated decreases to create a smooth, professional finish. Shoulder shaping is also included, mirroring the back piece for a neat, tailored fit. The sleeves begin with a ribbed cuff and are shaped as they progress upward.

Construction and Techniques

• Flat knitting: The front, back, and sleeves are worked flat (back and forth in rows), then seamed together — a traditional construction method well-suited to structured garments.
• Neckline shaping: The front neckline is shaped by binding off the central 19 stitches, followed by a series of graduated decreases worked every 2nd and 4th row. Specifically, decreases are worked as: 3 x 3 stitches, 2 x 2 stitches, 5 x 1 stitch every 2nd row, then 2 x 1 stitch every 4th row — creating a smooth, rounded neckline curve.
• Shoulder shaping: Shoulder slope (Schulterschräge) is worked on both the front and back pieces identically, ensuring clean, aligned shoulder seams.
• Sleeve construction: Sleeves are cast on with 77 (81 – 85 – 89) stitches depending on size, beginning with ribbing before transitioning to the main fabric pattern.

Stitches Used

• Ribbing (Rippenmuster): Used at the sleeve cuffs and likely at the hem and neckline, ribbing provides elasticity and a neat, finished edge. It is typically worked as a combination of knit and purl stitches in alternating columns (such as k1, p1 or k2, p2).
• Stockinette or main pattern stitch (Grundmuster): The body of the sweater is worked in a base stitch pattern referred to as Grundmuster, which forms the primary fabric of both the front and back pieces.
• Decrease stitches: Multiple decrease techniques are employed throughout the neckline and shoulder shaping, worked at regular row intervals to achieve precise, gradual shaping.

Materials Required

• Yarn: Lana Grossa Ecopuno — a luxurious blend of 72% Cotton, 17% Virgin Wool (Merino), and 11% Baby Alpaca, with a yardage of 215 metres per 50 g skein. This blend offers a beautifully soft hand feel, natural breathability from the cotton, warmth from the merino, and a subtle halo and drape from the baby alpaca. It is an ideal choice for a year-round or transitional-season sweater.
• Quantity: 150 (200 – 200 – 250) g each of Ecru (Fb 46) and Beige (Fb 55), totalling 300–500 g depending on size.
• Needles: Knitting needles size 5 (mm) for the main fabric, and a circular needle size 4, 40 cm long, for finishing details such as the neckband.
