Pattern Summary: Design 27 Pullover in Lana Grossa Ecopuno, Silkhair & Diamante – Filati Journal 61

What Is Being Made

This downloadable PDF pattern from Lana Grossa presents Design 27, a women's pullover sweater originally featured in Filati Journal 61. The garment is a classic knitted pullover worked in a luxurious multi-yarn combination, available in three sizes: 36/38, 40/42, and 44/46. The design features a shaped neckline with bound-off center stitches and tapered shoulder finishing, giving it a polished, structured silhouette. Armhole shaping is achieved through the use of markers, and the construction follows a straightforward set-in or drop-shoulder style with separate neck shaping worked on each side independently.

Yarns and Materials

One of the most distinctive aspects of this pattern is its use of three Lana Grossa yarns held together or used in combination to create a richly textured, lustrous fabric:

• Lana Grossa Silkhair – A delicate blend of 70% superkid mohair and 30% silk, offering a soft halo and subtle sheen. Used in colorway Raspberry (col 70). Required amounts are 75 g for size 36/38 and 100 g for sizes 40/42 and 44/46. Each 25 g ball yields approximately 210 meters.
• Lana Grossa Diamante – A 100% polyester novelty yarn with a sparkling, faceted quality that adds visual texture and shimmer. Also used in Raspberry colorway. Yardage is approximately 195 meters per 25 g ball, with the same quantity requirements as Silkhair.
• Lana Grossa Ecopuno – A sustainably minded yarn that forms the third component of this combination, contributing body and structure to the finished fabric. As referenced in the pattern title, Ecopuno anchors the blend with its characteristic weight and drape.

The combination of these three yarns results in a fabric that is simultaneously lightweight, luminous, and softly textured — a hallmark of Lana Grossa's design philosophy seen throughout the Filati journal series.

Techniques Used

• Flat knitting – The pullover is worked back and forth in rows, with wrong-side (WS) and right-side (RS) rows clearly referenced throughout the instructions.
• Stitch marker placement – Markers are placed in the first and last stitch of a designated wrong-side row to indicate the beginning of the armhole shaping, a clean and precise technique for maintaining symmetry.
• Armhole shaping – Rather than traditional bind-offs at the armhole, the pattern uses markers to define the armhole depth, continuing straight until the piece measures 11 (12, 13) cm from the armhole markers.
• Neck shaping – On a right-side row, the center 20 stitches are bound off to open the neckline. Each side is then worked separately, with 2 stitches bound off at the neck edge once, followed by 1 stitch once, creating a gently tapered neckline.
• Shoulder finishing – After an additional 3 cm of neck shaping, the remaining 24 (26, 29) stitches are bound off for each shoulder, ensuring a clean and even finish.
• Sized instructions – The pattern uses a standard bracketed format, with instructions written for the smallest size first and larger sizes in parentheses. Where a single figure appears, it applies to all sizes.

Stitches Used

• Main stitch pattern – While the full stitch detail is contained within the complete pattern, the construction references standard knitted fabric worked in rows, consistent with stockinette or a simple textured stitch typical of Lana Grossa Filati designs.
• Bind-off techniques – Standard bind-offs are used at the center neck and shoulders, with decreasing bind-offs at the neck edges for shaping.
