A new version of this pattern is coming soon with new sizes and a better, more uniform fit! If you would like to test it out, please let me know! A pattern update will be sent out to all purchasers at the end of the testing period.

The Vine Pullover is constructed seamlessly in the round, from the top down, and the pattern includes links to video tutorials for each step. This sweater is an excellent choice for a first sweater, or to learn to cable--simple, with just a bit of whimsy.


Sizing: 3 months (6 months, 12 months, 18 months, 2t, 4t, 6, 8, 10, 12)

Errata: Following the 9/27/2023 sleeve update, I failed to delete a set of the old instructions. Step One of the sleeve working rounds should onlyread as follows: “Step 1: Knit 27 (17, 13, 11, 13, 16, 12, 13, 15, 14) row(s) in pattern.”

I am always working to improve my patterns. The most updated file can always be downloaded at any time from your Ravelry library. The 9/27/2023 update gave the sleeves a looser fit after receiving feedback that they were too tight. Coming in 2024: Sizes 14 and 16, as well as metrics for knitters outside the USA, and a low-vision file.
