Sommerpulli – LEIA Pullover

What Is Being Made

The Sommerpulli – LEIA is a lightweight summer pullover designed by Woll-Inspiration. This knitted top is available in six sizes ranging from 36 to 46, making it suitable for various body measurements. The pullover is crafted as a beginner-friendly knitting project, making it an excellent choice for those new to the craft who want to create a wearable garment.

Craft and Technique

This project uses the knitting technique throughout. The pullover is worked primarily in Kraus links (garter stitch), a fundamental knitting pattern that creates a textured, reversible fabric. Garter stitch is created by knitting every row, making it one of the most accessible stitches for beginners while still producing an attractive, structured garment suitable for summer wear.

Stitches Used

• Kraus links (Garter Stitch) – The primary stitch throughout the pullover, worked consistently to create the main fabric
