Meath Pullover by Jill Wolcott
What is Being Made
The Meath Pullover is a knitted pullover sweater designed by Jill Wolcott, offering a moderately easy knitting project that balances simplicity with interesting design details. This garment is available in five sizes ranging from XS to XL, with finished circumferences from 32.5 inches to 46.5 inches and finished lengths from 20.5 inches to 23 inches. The pullover is designed as a versatile everyday piece that combines classic construction with thoughtful features.
Techniques Used
The Meath Pullover employs several intermediate knitting techniques that make it engaging without being overly complex. The primary construction method involves knitting in the round, which creates a seamless fabric for the body. The pattern incorporates cable pockets as a functional and decorative element, adding visual interest to the garment. The sleeves feature long, sinuous construction with shaping and thumb holes, providing both comfort and style. Cable work appears on the sleeves as well, offering a pleasant change of pace from the stockinette stitch used for the body. The sweater is finished with rolled trim, a classic edge treatment that creates a neat, professional appearance.
Stitches Used
- Stockinette Stitch – Used for the main body of the pullover, worked in the round to create a smooth, classic fabric
- Cable Stitches – Featured on both the sleeves and as part of the cable pocket construction, adding textural dimension
- Rolled Trim – Applied as the finishing edge treatment for a polished look
Materials
The Meath Pullover is knitted using DK weight yarn, which provides a lightweight yet durable fabric suitable for a pullover sweater. The pattern is worked at a gauge of 5 stitches and 7 rows per inch (or 20 stitches and 28 rows per 4 inches), which should be verified before beginning to ensure proper fit. Standard knitting needles appropriate for DK weight yarn are required for this project.
Pattern Format
This design is available as a downloadable PDF pattern from Jill Wolcott Knits, making it convenient for immediate access and printing for reference during knitting.
