Like sunlight streaming through stained glass, the Painted Glass Pullover transforms simple stitches into something truly extraordinary.

This stunning sport-weight sweater features the signature Painted Glass mosaic motif flowing seamlessly across the yoke, sleeves, and body. Bold geometric shapes frame shifting colors, creating a fabric that seems to glow from within while remaining surprisingly wearable for everyday life. Whether you choose high-contrast shades or a subtle gradient, the result is mesmerizing from every angle.

As the newest addition to the Painted Glass collection—joining the beloved shawl and capelet—this pullover brings the same striking visual impact into a garment you’ll reach for again and again.

Despite its intricate appearance, the mosaic colorwork is worked with only one color per row, making it far more approachable than it looks. Every detail has been carefully engineered to create a smooth, enjoyable knitting experience. Clear instructions, thoughtfully organized charts, and step-by-step guidance make it easy to stay focused on the fun part: watching the pattern emerge stitch by stitch.

And then there’s the fit.

Designed with real bodies in mind, the Painted Glass Pullover drapes beautifully while providing enough ease to layer comfortably. The sport-weight fabric creates a sweater that’s substantial enough for cool weather yet light enough to wear throughout much of the year. The result is a garment that feels as good as it looks—comfortable, flattering, and endlessly wearable.
If you’ve ever wanted to knit a sweater that stops people in their tracks while still being a joy to make, the Painted Glass Pullover is ready to shine.

A sweater that looks complex, feels comfortable, and lets your colors shine. ✨
