Herblore Pullover Knitting Pattern by Fox and Folk

The Herblore Pullover/Slipover knitting pattern was inspired by my ever-growing love, and study of the plants around us and their roles in our lives.
From their preferred soil type, to their uses in the dye pot, from my teapot, to stories and lore passed down for generations and everything in between.

The knitting pattern is a positive ease sweater and vest pattern with a loose comfortable fit. The perfect cosy/casual piece to add to your Winter wardrobe. It goes well over dresses and skirts knitted in the cropped option, or over jeans in the full-length option.

The piece is knitted bottom up, in the round, then split for the arm holes. Short rows shape the shoulders, and the sleeves are picked up last and worked in the round.

The pullover knitting pattern features cozy texture motifs, and lateral braid details, as well as a rolled collar.

The sweater is knitted in DK weight yarn on size US 7/4.5 mm needles. I used Jacob DK by Nellie & Eve for my sample.

Tailored pullover knitting pattern

The pattern is full of customisation options! It includes instructions for both a pullover with long sleeves, and a slip-over vest with yardage listed for both. There are instructions to choose the length, between cropped at the top of the hip or full length, hitting at the widest part of the hip.

The pattern also contains optional instructions to add bust darts, and to adjust where the drop shoulder sits on the body for a perfect fit for every body type. There are detailed instructions for fully customising these features to your unique body including worksheets and examples.

This design is size inclusive, with sizes that range from 29”/74 cm though 65”/165 cm.
