Knitting For Olive | Nordby Pullover Pattern & Yarn Pack
A Striped Classic for Little Ones
The Nordby Pullover is a timeless striped sweater designed with comfort and practicality in mind for babies and children. Knit from the top down in your choice of Merino or Cotton Merino, it’s a cosy wardrobe essential that’s fun to customise with your favourite colour combinations — a great way to use up treasured yarn leftovers.
In the smallest sizes, the pullover features a back-neck split with a button closure for fuss-free dressing. The construction begins at the shoulders, working flat for the front and back before joining in the round at the underarms. Stitches are then picked up for the sleeves, which are worked in the round, finishing with classic ribbed edges on the neckline, cuffs, and hem.
Whether you go bold with colour or keep it minimal, the Nordby Pullover is a delightful knit for everyday wear.
Our Nordby Pullover Pattern & Yarn Pack includes 1 ball of base yarn, 1 ball of accent yarn, and a digital pattern.
