Description

The Tryon Creek Pullover is a classic cabled pullover with a double collar that is sure to become a true wardrobe staple with its unisex styling. The construction is top-down and seamless with modified drop shoulders. There’s plenty of structure built into the design so that it will keep its shape with lots of wear. The side panels in reverse stockinette offer easy sizing adjustments and the option to add increases for additional width at the hemline. The pattern is written for 2×2 ribbing that flows out from the cable stitches on the hem and sleeve cuffs, but it also includes a simpler option for 1×1 ribbing.

Knitted in lovely Cumbria, this sweater is made from a lustrous blend of fine Merino, Masham wool, and mohair. The good stitch definition of this yarn and its soft touch make this a luxury sweater that can be worn every day.

Pair this pullover with Kay Hopkins' Tryon Creek Hat and Tryon Creek Cowl, where the 4-stitch cable pattern is mirrored throughout.
