VENO Pullover by Veta Romanenkova
Garment Overview
The VENO Pullover is an intermediate-level knitted sweater designed by Veta Romanenkova as part of the Fall 2020 collection. This pullover is crafted as a unisex design available in both women's and men's versions, offering a contemporary silhouette with sophisticated stitch patterning. The finished bust measurements range from 37 inches to 68 inches across nine sizes, accommodating a wide range of body types and fit preferences.
Knitting Techniques and Stitch Work
The VENO Pullover features Honeycomb and Rope chart patterns as its primary decorative elements. These textured stitches create visual interest and dimension throughout the garment. The Honeycomb stitch is a classic knitting pattern known for its dimensional, three-dimensional appearance, while Rope stitches add linear definition and structural appeal. Both patterns are worked on the larger needles, contributing to the garment's drape and finished texture.
This intermediate-level project requires familiarity with chart reading and cable techniques. The inclusion of a cable needle among the required notions indicates that cable work is incorporated into the design, adding complexity and visual sophistication to the finished sweater.
Materials and Yarn Specifications
The VENO Pullover is designed to be knitted with Woolfolk Tov yarn, a premium fiber composed of 100% Ovis 21 Ultimate Merino®. This high-quality merino wool provides excellent elasticity, breathability, and temperature regulation—ideal properties for a versatile pullover suitable for transitional seasons.

Needles and Tools Required
The pattern calls for a combination of straight and circular needles to accommodate different construction stages:
- US 7 (4.5 mm) straight needles and 16-inch circular needle for ribbed sections and initial setup
- US 8 (5 mm) needles for the main body and pattern work
- Cable needle for cable stitch techniques
- Stitch markers for tracking pattern repeats and shaping
- Tapestry needle for seaming and finishing
- Removable marker for tracking rows or measuring progress
Gauge and Finishing
The pattern specifies a gauge of 24 stitches and 28 rows over 4 inches when working the Honeycomb and Rope chart patterns on the larger (US 8) needles in blocked fabric. Achieving proper gauge is essential for obtaining the correct finished measurements and ensuring the sweater fits as designed. Blocking is recommended to even out the textured stitches and achieve the intended dimensions.
