Antler Peak is such a fun pullover to make and to wear. It’s very comfortable and can be dressed up or down. The easy stitch pattern makes the yoke entertaining to knit and every row of the chart is also written out.

Antler Peak is worked top-down and in-the-round seamlessly. The hybrid yoke construction is the best of both worlds; starting with circular method for ease of working the textured stitch pattern, and then transitioning to raglan seams for superior fit. Short rows lower the front neckline (by raising the back neck) and also add length to the back body for wearing comfort.

Four options are included for finishing the neckline: Funnel, Crew, Mock Collar (Double), and Turtleneck and you can make that decision at the very end after you try it on. The collar, cuffs, and hem band are finished in 1×1 ribbing. Options are included for a split hemline and for a matching textured stitch pattern before the hemline on the body and before the cuffs on the sleeves. A video tutorial is included for the (easy) stitches used in the yoke which is both charted and written.

Antler Peak will look great in any DK weight yarn that meets gauge and has good drape and stitch definition. Advise minimal color variation so the stitch pattern is not lost.

Sizing is inclusive with intended ease of 4-6 inches / 10-15 cm.

This pattern has been professionally tech-edited and tested.
