Kallio polo is now live! Celebrate the launch with 20% discount with the code kalliopolo. The discount is valid until Sunday September 13th at midnight Helsinki time.

Kallio polo is a top down collared sweater pattern. It’s a sibling pattern to my Kallio shirt pattern, released in June 2023. Compared to the Kallio shirt, this version has long sleeves and made in thicker yarn, suitable for fall and winter. The polo is a timeless piece to your wardrobe, that is easy to add in different outfits and wear in different occasions.

Kallio polo is knitted using DK weight yarn, but in my sample I used two fingering weight yarns held together. You can really make your Kallio polo unique by combining two different colors together to create a marled effect, or to make a fluffy version by adding a strand of lace weight fluffy yarn.
