The Arquette Pullover knitting pattern turns heads with a fresh and modern wave motif swept across the perfectly-fitted yoked shoulders. The flattering silhouette features a boxy fit and balloon cuff sleeves. The sweater is punctuated with a few special details—popcorn texture integrated into the colorwork, an optional lateral Vikkel braid at the base of the collar, beautiful tubular bind-off edges, and a split hem—all of which come together to elevate the design.

The sweater is knitted seamlessly from the top-down, making it easy to try on and adjust the length as you go. The instructions for the pattern are full of helpful details, such as a coloring page, video/photo tutorials for special techniques and also feature an option to work a turtleneck or crew neck. The yoke motif is charted with helpful details and that explain how to manage long floats with the ladder back jacquard method (picture tutorial and a video are included to make it easy and fun).

REVIEWS
“Thank you for the beautiful design! The techniques used for the pattern are awesome.” - XYZKNITS

“This is a surprisingly quick knit and a very enjoyable yoke! I do like how the pattern specifies where to place the jacquard sts.” - lilykao

“I’m very happy with how it turned out - the pattern is great, I love the sleeve detail and also the braid at the neck!” - admama

“Pattern comes in a beautiul and professional format that is easy to follow. You will create a highly wearable piece with a modern twist. Includes directions for where to start, continue and resolve the ladder-back jacquard stitches for managing those long floats. I had tried this technique before in a different pattern, with no direction, and gave up. This time it was a breeze; just part of the colorwork chart! I love the little extra details like the wrist popcorn, vikkel braid at the neck and options for three neck styles. This sweater gets noticed!” - biggreenboots
