The Peninsula Pullover is a relaxed fit, drop shoulder, textured jumper. It is inspired by the ocean and Bellarine Peninsula in Victoria, Australia. The Peninsula Pullover is the perfect jumper to throw on when you’re needing something cosy and warm. It is worked holding 2 strands of Friends Extra Fine Merino plus 1 strand of Friends Kid silk creating a gorgeous warm hug in sweater form.
The jumper is worked bottom up in the round to the opening for the sleeves. It is then worked flat in front and back sections, and seamed at the shoulders using a 3 needle bind off. Sleeves and neckline are then picked up separately and worked in the round using the magic loop method, if necessary.
The jumper follows a 3 stitch pattern repeat, using the following stitch patterns:
Moss Stitch, Garter stitch and Stockinette Stitch.
