Windflower Pullover in Berroco Remix Light — Pattern Summary

The Windflower Pullover is an intermediate-level knitting pattern designed by Alison Green and published by Berroco in 2025. Available as a downloadable PDF, this pattern produces a relaxed, feminine pullover sweater worked in a delicate two-yarn held-together combination that creates a beautifully textured, lightweight fabric. The design is named after the windflower and carries a soft, airy aesthetic well suited to the materials used.

What Is Being Made

This pattern creates a pullover sweater with a comfortable, easygoing silhouette. It is offered in an extensive range of 12 sizes, labeled (1, 2, 3, 4) [5, 6, 7, 8] {9, 10, 11, 12}, with finished bust measurements spanning from 32½" / 82.5 cm up to 67½" / 171.5 cm. The sample shown is knitted in size 5 at a finished bust of 45¼" / 115 cm, modeled with approximately 4" / 10 cm of positive ease. The pattern recommends 2–6" / 5–15 cm of positive ease, making this a relaxed, comfortable fit across all sizes. Finished lengths range from approximately 19" to 23" / 48.5–58.5 cm measured down the center back, depending on size.

Yarn and Materials

One of the most distinctive features of the Windflower Pullover is its use of two yarns held together throughout the entire project. This technique layers a solid-weight yarn with a fine, halo-effect yarn to produce a fabric with both structure and ethereal softness.

• Berroco Remix Light (100 g balls) in #6901 Birch — a DK-weight yarn that forms the structural base of the fabric. Quantities range from 2 balls for the smallest sizes up to 4 balls for the largest sizes.
• Berroco Aerial Color (25 g balls) in #34103 Renoir — a lace-weight yarn with a delicate, airy character that adds a subtle halo and color dimension when held alongside the Remix Light. Quantities range from 3 balls for the smallest sizes up to 6 balls for the largest sizes.

Holding a DK-weight and a lace-weight yarn together is a popular technique among knitters seeking a fabric that is simultaneously lightweight and well-defined. The lace-weight companion yarn often adds a gentle bloom or haze to the finished fabric without significantly increasing bulk, while the DK base provides stitch clarity and body.

Needles

The Windflower Pullover is knitted in the round and flat, requiring circular needles in two cord lengths:

• 16" / 40 cm circular needles — typically used for working smaller circumferences such as neckbands or sleeve cuffs in the round
• 32" / 80 cm circular needles — used for the body of the sweater worked in the round

Both needle lengths are recommended in size US 5, which is a standard needle size well suited to a held-together DK and lace-weight combination.

Techniques and Construction

Rated as intermediate in skill level, the Windflower Pullover is appropriate for knitters who are comfortable working in the round on circular needles and managing two strands of yarn simultaneously. Holding two yarns together requires consistent tension management to ensure an even, cohesive fabric throughout the garment. Intermediate knitters will also be expected to follow shaping instructions for the bust, armholes, and neckline across a wide range of sizes.

• Knitting in the round — the body and likely the neckline finishing are worked circularly, a technique that eliminates seaming and produces a smooth, uninterrupted fabric
• Flat knitting — certain sections such as yoke or sleeve shaping may be worked back and forth in rows
• Two-yarn
