Quagga pullover is available as a custom-gauge, custom-size pattern via the CustomFit pattern generator. Upon purchase, you’ll receive a credit for a custom version of Quagga pullover and instructions on how to create it.

The Quagga pullover is named after a subspecies of plains zebras that were hunted to extinction by colonialists. Existing specimens show that they had a brown coloured rear, with striping patterns to- wards the front of their body and up their neck. Some of the specimens have much lighter coloured legs, which is what inspired the name for this sweater.

The pattern has a scoop neck, which starts above the armhole shaping. It has a stripe pattern that goes up to just below the armholes, contrast neckline and contrast sleeves. It’s a great pattern for when you don’t have enough of one colour for a whole sweater.

This pattern is built into https://customfit.amyherzogdesigns.com, and is designed to be made in any weight yarn, in your choice of gauge and size.

CustomFit allows you to choose your own sleeve and sweater lengths to match your preference. By design, the Quagga pullover uses your “average” sweater length and your “short” sleeve length. This can be adjusted for your preferences.

Quagga pullover has an hourglass silhouette by default (with waist and bust shaping), but this can be changed to any of CustomFit’s silhouette.
