The Dree Pullover is the perfect pattern for knitters living in a warmer environment, with its eyelet cable stitch pattern, and v-neck shaping, able to be worn in the front or back. Knit using either our Silk & Wool yarn, or sport weight flyWHEEL, choose whichever suits the weather best in your neck of the woods.

This pullover was knit to gauge using the same needle size with our Sport weight flyWHEEL yarn and our DK weight Silk & Wool. The fabric using the Sport weight yarn has slightly more drape, but the overall feel and fit of both versions are essentially identical. As various yarns have different parameters for what is classified as DK and Sport weight, swatch first to confirm gauge if substituting yarn.
