Rain Calling Pullover by Teti's Knit Garden
What Is Being Made
The Rain Calling Pullover is an intermediate-level knitted sweater designed by Teti Lutsak of Nutsknitwear. This pullover is inspired by the designer's love of warm, earthy tones and the Ukrainian Easter egg painting tradition known as pysankas. The sweater combines deep warm orange and dark brown colorways, creating a grounded, sensible design that celebrates the beauty of hand-dyed yarn.
Construction Method
This sweater is worked top down seamless in the round, a popular construction technique that allows knitters to try on the garment as they work and easily adjust length to fit. Working in the round eliminates the need for seaming, creating a more seamless and professional finish.
Design Features and Stitches
- Round yoke: The upper portion features a decorative round yoke
- Wrapped knit stitches: The yoke is adorned with "rain drops" created using wrapped knit stitches, adding textural interest and visual depth
- Colorwork section: The bottom of the body incorporates colorwork, allowing for creative use of the two yarn colors

Yardage requirements vary by size, ranging from approximately 210 grams [250, 295, 340, 385] [425, 470, 515, 560] grams depending on the finished size.
