Magda Pullover
The Magda Pullover is available as an individual pattern for $7.00 or as part of the Primo Knits Collection, featuring Primo Aran and Primo Worsted yarns by The Plucky Knitter. Primo Knits includes three hats (Asher, the Magda Slouchy & the Magda Beanie), a cowl (the Magda Cowl), and two sweaters (Moonshiner & Magda). There will be a Plucky Knitter update in early January 2014 in which the yarns and coupons for the individual patterns and the ebook will be offered. To be notified of the update, please sign up for mailing notifications at the Mind of Winter or Plucky Knitter Website. (Join both and get yarn update and pattern release announcements in the future!)
The Magda Pullover features a unique combination of cables and lace displayed on a modern silhouette. The fit is intended to be slightly over-sized with extra-long raglan seams that create a dolmanesque look, but it can be worn less loosely, and incorporates gentle waist-shaping to accentuate womanly curves. The sleeves are between three-quarter length and bracelet length. The neckline is also unconventional - rounded, but with a feminine dip under the collarbone in the front. Magda is a perfect mix of the traditional and the new, which will provide a timeless sweater that is simultaneously on-trend.
The sample is shown in The Plucky Knitter Primo Aran in the “Pinehurst” colorway. The pattern is suitable for intermediate knitters, with basic knowledge of lace and cabling. Please see specific required skills below. Instructions are both written and charted. The pattern has been professionally tech edited to reduce the possibility for error, but if you have questions or believe that you have found an error, please contact me.
