Knitting For Olive | Samso Pullover Pattern & Yarn Pack
The Pullover That Goes with Everything
The Samso Pullover brings timeless stripes into a modern silhouette, blending simplicity with everyday elegance. Designed with wide sleeves and a relaxed fit, this top-down knit is finished with refined half-twisted rib detailing at the hem, cuffs and neckline.
The pullover is worked with one strand of Merino. The front and back are knit flat, separately, down to the underarms—where the pieces are joined and the body is completed in the round. Stitches for the sleeves are then picked up and knit in the round from the top down, making it easy to customise length as needed.
The classic two-colour stripe sequence alternates between four rounds in the contrast colour and six rounds in the main colour, repeating every 10 rounds. The result is a clean, balanced stripe pattern that never goes out of style.
Samso Pullover is designed with positive ease for a comfy, relaxed fit. To find your perfect size, refer to the ‘to fit chest circumference’ guidance provided in the pattern.
Our Samso Pullover Pattern & Yarn Pack includes 3 balls of base colour, 2 balls of accent colour, and a digital pattern.
