About
Inspired by the serene beauty of Kingsburg Beach, Nova Scotia, this elegant raglan sweater features a captivating keyhole detail at the back neckline. Knit seamlessly top-down, the neckline is worked flat, creating a slightly rolled hem that transitions into comfortable ribbing. Raglan lines gracefully frame the yoke, while thoughtful increases shape a flattering silhouette. The keyhole is cleverly incorporated into the back, with short rows creating a beautiful shape.

Suggested Styling
Effortless Chic: Pair with your favourite jeans and a crisp white blouse, popping the collar to highlight the neckline’s clean lines.
Romantic Flair: Layer over a camisole to showcase the keyhole detail, and complete the look with a flowing skirt.

Yarn Pairings
This pattern works well with a variety of yarns:
Unspun Yarn (held double): Creates a unique, rustic texture.
Aran Weight Yarn: Offers a classic, substantial feel.
Worsted Weight Yarn (held with a lace weight): Provides a delightful combination of warmth and drape.

Size Guide
The Kingsburg Keyhole Pullover is designed for a tailored fit with 2 to 5 cm ¾ to 2 inches of positive ease. This means the finished garment will measure slightly larger than your body measurements. To determine your size, measure your bust and compare it to the specifications chart. For instance, if your bust measures 112 cm 44 inches, you should choose size 5. The size 5 has a finished bust circumference of 114 cm (44 ½ inches), resulting in 2 cm ¾ inch of positive ease.
