The Poetry pullover is a sister design of my popular Poet and Poetria patterns. The familiar Poet lace stitch pattern has been reworked to fit the circular yoke, and then worked over the whole body and the sleeves.

The Poetry pullover is knitted seamlessly top-down starting at the neckband with well-thought and polished details such as the tubular bind off for the cuffs and the hem. The sleeves and body are separated at the underarm and knitted separately. All techniques and steps are explained in the pattern.

The pattern is written for DK weight yarn, but you can also use a combination of fingering weight yarn and a strand of silk mohair for added luxury. The Poetry pullover looks best in unicolor or slightly tonal yarns with good stitch definition.
