Marley Pullover

US$10.00

Marley is a nod to my hometown in Jamaica and my love for reggae music.

As reggae music is a fusion of different music genres combined to create something unique, so is this pullover with 2 different textures.

Recommended ease: 4-6” (10 - 15 cm) of positive ease.

Sample shown in size 4 with chest measuring 46” (116.75 cm)

*Note that the Helix and Felix sections are held double throughout the pattern.

Play with colours and texture and have fun with this pattern!

CONSTRUCTION AND NOTES

The pullover is knit in one-piece and worked from the top down seamlessly with a raglan construction. You will be working intarsia on the front, back and 1 sleeve.

With intarsia knitting, you have a separate ball of yarn for each area of colour. Instructions are detailed for the colour change between yarns for the body and sleeve.

In the intarsia sections, twist the yarn on the WS whenever changing colours to avoid gaps.
