Remember those baseball raglans … the ones you throw on for the picnics, games of catch, and weekend hikes? Well, the Parks & Rec pullover is their updated cousin: a warm, mohair sweater with a comfy, easy feel. The Parks & Rec pullover is worked from the bottom-up, but completed
with seamless, top-down sleeves. No waist shaping to worry about and a classic V-neck completes the look. This is a simple sweater with a lot of thoughtful details for fit and style—but it’s also infinitely customizable. I’ve included some notes for possible modifications.

The sample is a size 36” worn with 2” of ease on a 34” bust. I would suggest choosing a size that provides about 2-4” of ease. Check the schematic for more information about sizing. Many sizes of this pattern have been test knit—you can check out the project pages on Ravelry! If you would like to test knit sizes 42, 44, or 54, please email me and I will be happy to send you a complementary copy of the pattern in exchange for your notes and comments.

Notions: stitch markers, tapestry needle, waste yarn and/or extra cables

Alternative Yarns: You could use a variegated yarn for the body to produce a similar effect with a complementary color for the sleeves. You could also knit the entire sweater in a single color and it would be gorgeous. Test knitters also made cropped versions! I would suggest 100% wool for Yarn A. You can substitute most mohair blends, as long as they are the same weight as Qing Fiber’s Mohair Silk.
