Worked with two strands of fingering weight yarn, or one strand of worsted weight, this is a classic crew or turtleneck, top-down raglan, oversized pullover with 18 - 23 cm (7 - 9 in) positive ease, a feather motif fluttering down the top of the sleeve and trimmed with ribbing. The motif is adapted from lacy pattern 38, page 33, in The Japanese Knitting Stitch Bible by Hitomi Shida.

This snuggle of a pullover is named after the Willow Ptarmigan, a bird of the partridge-like grouse family found in the Canadian Arctic tundra. If you’re familiar with Canadian television in the 1970s - 90s, you might recognize this commercial made by the National Film Board for Canadian Wildlife Services.

Notes

Worked with two strands of fingering weight yarn, or one strand of worsted, this is a snuggle of a pullover with a classic crew or turtleneck, top-down raglan, and oversized with 18 - 23 cm (7 - 9 in) positive ease.

Cast on the neckline, build the ribbed neck, est front, back, and sleeve raglan sections, build up the back neck using short rows while at the same time work the motif on the shoulders.

Once the sleeves are separated from the body, the body is a steady knit in stockinette and then finished with a ribbed hem. Pick up a few stitches to close up the armhole and continue with the sleeves in stockinette while adorning the top of the sleeve with the motif.

Tricoté de haut en bas avec deux brins de laine fingering ou un brin de laine worsted, ce chandail ample, en version col rond classique ou roulé, à manches raglan, orné d’un motif de plume qui court tout le long de la manche et terminé par des côtes, se porte avec 18 - 23 cm (7 - 9 in) d’aisance positive. Le motif est une adaptation du motif de dentelle 38, page 33, dans The Japanese Knitting Stitch Bible de Hitomi Shida.

Ce pull confortable tire son nom du Willow Ptarmigan (lagopède des saules en français), un oiseau de la famille des tétraonidés que l’on trouve dans la toundra arctique canadienne. Si vous regardiez la télévision canadienne dans les années 1970-1990, vous reconnaîtrez peut-être cette publicité faite par l’Office National du Film du Canada pour le Service Canadien de la Faune.
