OVERSIZE PULLOVER GRADIENT WITH EMBROIDERY

Description in PDF format. Volume: 13 pages.

• Full charts for all parts
• Narrative instructions
• Recommendations regarding increasing the pullover size (for XL) and shortening the pullover
• Embroidery diagrams. I have based the Dragon embroidery diagram on a free pattern Green Baby Dragon by Sneeuwmaan on DeviantArt, by adapting it for knitted fabric and changing the size.

I have designed and knitted this oversize raglan pullover for my
daughter. I wanted to create something that was super chic but
at the same time comfortable. Just the right combination of deep
raglan yoke and wide boxy shape gives this pullover a unique fit.
The styling options are plenty; from a casual “at home” look to
something more urban and on-the-go. As far as yarn, I used
Twisted Fiber Art (details as shown in the materials list below)
and Malabrigo Sock, but you can use similar yarn that yields the
same tension gauge.
