Dorchester Pullover
Courtney Spainhower
The Dorchester Pullover marries simple, classic shapes with delicate details in a way that makes it truly special. Though the bulk of the sweater is worked simply in garter and stockinette stitch from the bottom up, the front panel is knitted using a modular technique; scallops are interconnected with picked-up stitches.
Finished Size 35¾ (39¾, 43¾, 47¾, 51¾)“ bust circumference. Pullover shown measures 35¾”; modeled with 1¾“ of positive ease.
Yarn Berroco Vintage DK (52% acrylic, 40% wool, 8% nylon; 290 yd 266 m/ 3½ oz 100 g): #2133 spring green, 4 (4, 5, 6, 6) skeins.
Needles Size 6 (4 mm): 16” and 32” circular (cir) and set of double-pointed (dpn). Adjust needle size if necessary to obtain the correct gauge.
Notions Markers (m); stitch holders; tapestry needle.
Gauge 24 sts and 28 rows = 4” in St st; scallop measures about 5” wide and 2¾“ tall; left or right half-scallop measures about 2½” wide and 2¾“ tall.
