Titty Pullover in Adriafil Cuba & Kid Mohair – Free Knitting Pattern Summary
The Titty Pullover is a knitted pullover sweater designed using two complementary Adriafil yarns: Cuba and Kid Mohair. This free downloadable PDF pattern produces a classic, cosy jumper worked in separate flat pieces and seamed together. The combination of a sport-weight base yarn with a delicate mohair held alongside creates a soft, slightly hazy fabric with beautiful drape and warmth — a popular technique in contemporary hand-knitting that elevates a simple silhouette into something luxurious.
What Is Being Made
The finished garment is a pullover sweater (also called a jumper) with a defined back neck and a shaped front neck opening. It is worked in pieces — a back and a front — each beginning with ribbing at the hem and continuing through the body and shoulder shaping. The pattern is sized in Medium, Large, and an additional larger size, with finished chest measurements of 84 cm, 92 cm, and 100 cm respectively. The sample shown in the pattern is knitted in size Medium.
Techniques Used
- Flat knitting – both the back and front pieces are worked flat, back and forth in rows, then seamed
- Ribbing – used at the hem/bottom edge to create a neat, stretchy border
- Neck shaping – the back neck is shaped by binding off a central group of stitches and then working each side separately with graduated bind-offs; the front neck is similarly shaped but begins lower and uses a more gradual decrease sequence
- Shoulder shaping – remaining stitches are bound off at the shoulder once the piece reaches the required length
- Seaming – finished pieces are joined to complete the pullover
- Holding two yarns together – Cuba and Kid Mohair are worked together as a single strand, a technique that adds a soft halo and extra depth of colour to the fabric
Stitches Used
- Rib stitch – worked on the same 5 mm needles as the body, used for the bottom border
- Stockinette stitch (stocking stitch) – the primary stitch pattern used throughout the body of the sweater, creating a smooth knit face
- Bind-off sequences – precise stitch counts are given for shaping the back neck (binding off centre 18, 20, or 22 stitches depending on size, then 5 sts and 2 sts on each side every other row) and the front neck (binding off centre 10, 12, or 14 stitches, then 4 sts, 3 sts, 2 sts, and 1 st twice on each side)
Materials Required
- Yarn 1 – Adriafil Cuba, shade 71: 200 g for sizes M and L; 250 g for the largest size. Cuba is a sport-weight yarn that forms the main body of the fabric, providing structure and stitch definition.
- Yarn 2 – Adriafil Kid Mohair, shade 05: 50 g for sizes M and L; 75 g for the largest size. Kid Mohair is held together with the Cuba throughout, adding a soft, airy halo effect characteristic of mohair-blend knitting.
- Needles: 5 mm straight or circular needles, used for both the ribbing and the body — no needle change is required between sections.
Sizing and Dimensions
The pattern is written for three sizes with finished chest measurements of 84 cm (M), 92 cm (L), and 100 cm. Key length milestones include the back neck bind-off beginning at 41, 43, or 45 cm from the cast-on edge, with the back piece completing at 43, 45, or 47 cm. The front neck shaping begins earlier, at 36, 38, or 40
