Gennaker by Pam Allen

Craft: Knitting

This pattern is available on Ravelry.

We love this long-sleeve striped pullover, worked in our sweet worsted weight cotton Whimbrel. Stripes throughout the body are switched up at the cuffs for an interesting detail. The piece is knitted in the round from the neck down with round-yoke shaping and a slight A-line shape in the body. A few short rows raise the neck slightly. Sleeves are worked from underarm to cuff.

A note about our dyed cotton: Some colors may show dye runoff during blocking or washing, especially with highly saturated colors; this is normal. It’s very important to wash and block your striped swatch to check for colorfastness.

Shown in size 36.75”/93.5 cm on a 34”/86.5 cm, 5’3”/160 cm tall model with 2.75”/7 cm positive ease.
