Paris Pull in Adriafil Stars – Knitted Chunky Sweater

What is Being Made

The Paris Pull is a classic knitted sweater designed in three sizes: Small, Medium, and Large. This garment features a crew neckline with structured shaping and finished measurements of 74 (82) 90 cm chest width and 49 (50) 51 cm length. The sweater combines two complementary Adriafil Stars yarn colors to create visual interest and depth in the finished piece.

Techniques Used

This knitting pattern employs several fundamental sweater construction techniques. The garment is worked in pieces—a back panel, front panel, and two sleeves—which are later assembled. Armhole shaping is achieved through bind-off decreases at the beginning of rows, creating a fitted sleeve cap. Neckline shaping on the front piece involves binding off center stitches and then decreasing one stitch from each neck edge at regular intervals (every 4 rows, 5 times across all sizes) to create a smooth, curved neckline opening. Sleeve shaping incorporates both increases and decreases: the sleeve begins with a cast-on, includes decreases worked evenly across a row, then progresses with increases worked at each side edge at varying intervals—every 4 rows for 5 times, then every 2 rows for 2 times—to create a tapered cap that fits smoothly into the armhole.

Stitches Used

The primary stitch structure throughout the Paris Pull is stockinette stitch (also called stocking stitch), which creates the smooth, classic fabric appearance characteristic of traditional knitwear. This fundamental stitch is worked consistently across the back, front, and sleeves, providing a clean canvas for the yarn colors to showcase their texture and visual appeal.

Materials

This pattern calls for Adriafil Stars yarn in a chunky weight, ideal for creating a warm, substantial garment with good drape and structure. Yarn requirements are:

• 200 (250) 250 grams in Stars colour 50 (colour A)
• 50 (50) 50 grams in Stars colour 88 (colour B)

Knitting needles size 10 are required to work with this chunky yarn weight, which produces the appropriate gauge and fabric density for the finished sweater dimensions. The combination of two yarn colors allows for creative colorwork opportunities while maintaining the straightforward stockinette stitch construction.
