I wanted the Heritage Pullover to feel like a family quilt: a collection of small pieces, knit together to tell a story. It draws from my grandmother’s childhood home, my love of vintage quilts and folk art, and my story.

The pattern includes the pictured original design, alternative layouts, and 50+ original motif charts, so you can choose the “charms” that meaningful to you and arrange them however you like. Designed to be customized with symbols of your heritage, hobbies, and all the things that make you uniquely you.

Airy, cropped fit. Currently available in sizes S–2XL (30–47” designed chest fit). Size S shown on a 34” chest.
Designed with ~8-12” positive ease. Consider comparing flat chest to another sweater you love the fit of!

Thanks to all the love on this design, I was able to find more testers - yay! Sizes 3XL-5XL (48-60”) are currently in testing.

Worsted/medium weight yarn
Yarn amounts will vary based on what colorwork and how many icons you do. Perfect for scrap bustin!

Worked bottom-up in 2 panels total. Drop shoulder sleeves, neckline shaping. The panels are then seamed together on the sides before working the sleeves in the round and finishing the neckline ribbing.

If you love the Heritage Sweaters, I encourage you to explore the rich history of both family quilts and patchwork/pictorial knitwear, including designs such as Nancy Vale’s Patchwork Slipover Vest, DROPS 38-6 & Name the Flowers, and Carol Huber’s Patchwork Sampler. Thank you to the fiber art community, whose history and collective knowledge make this craft so special!
