Pattern Summary: Lana Grossa Model 27 – Filati Journal 61 Pullover (Sweater) in Silkhair, Diamante & Ecopuno

What Is Being Made

This free downloadable PDF pattern from Lana Grossa, published as Modell 27 from Filati Journal 61, provides instructions for knitting a women's pullover (sweater/jumper). The design is worked in three sizes — 36/38, 40/42, and 44/46 — making it accessible to a range of body types. The silhouette features a round neckline and set-in armhole shaping, giving the finished garment a classic, elegant structure. The combination of luxury yarn blends used in this pattern creates a lightweight yet visually rich fabric with beautiful drape and subtle texture.

Techniques Used

The pattern employs a range of standard and intermediate knitting construction techniques:

• Flat knitting — the pieces are worked back and forth in rows rather than in the round
• Armhole shaping — armhole openings are marked at a specific row count and then shaped with decreases over a defined number of centimetres and rows
• Round neckline shaping — the centre stitches are bound off and both sides are worked separately, with additional decreases worked every second row to create a smooth, curved neckline
• Stitch decreases — multiple decrease rounds are worked at the inner neckline edge, including binding off groups of stitches followed by single stitch decreases, to achieve the rounded shaping
• Size-specific instructions — the pattern clearly differentiates between sizes using a bracket and dash notation, making it straightforward to follow one size throughout

Stitches Used

• Stockinette stitch (glatt rechts / smooth knit) — the main body fabric is worked in stockinette, knit on the right side and purled on the wrong side, producing a smooth, classic surface
• Reverse stockinette or ribbing at the hem — the pattern references beginning with a wrong-side (Rück-Reihe / back row) before transitioning into the main stitch pattern, suggesting a foundation or border section

Materials: Yarn

This pattern calls for a luxurious combination of three Lana Grossa yarn qualities, each contributing distinct qualities to the finished fabric:

• Lana Grossa Silkhair — a halo yarn composed of 70% Mohair (Superkid) and 30% Silk, with a yardage of approximately 210 metres per 25 g. The colourway specified is Himbeer (Raspberry), colour number 70. Quantities required are approximately 75 g for size 36/38, 100 g for sizes 40/42 and 44/46. Silkhair's mohair content creates a soft, airy halo effect, while the silk adds a subtle sheen and smooth drape.
• Lana Grossa Diamante — a second yarn quality referenced in the pattern, contributing additional texture or sparkle to the design. Specific fibre content and quantity details are partially contained within the PDF.
• Lana Grossa Ecopuno — the third yarn in the combination, which is featured prominently in the pattern name. Ecopuno is known for being a sustainable, plant-dyed yarn with a soft, matte finish, often used to add body and structure when combined with finer halo or novelty yarns.

The use of multiple yarn qualities held together or alternated is a hallmark of Lana Grossa Filati Journal designs, creating layered, couture-inspired textures that would be difficult to achieve with a single yarn alone.

Needles

• Needle size 10 (metric) — referenced explicitly in the pattern for working the main stockinette fabric. This relatively large needle size, combined with the lightweight mohair and fine yarns, produces an open, airy fabric with excellent drape.
