Alatau pullover is a top-down round yoke sweater with two neck finishing options: a turtleneck for warmth and a crewneck for comfort. Alatau is a group of mountain ranges in Central Asia. The rich texture, the “ridges” and “valleys” of the chevron pattern reminded me of my hometown in Kazakhstan which is surrounded by these magnificent mountains.
You can knit the matching Alatau Hat and use it as a swatch for this pullover!
Construction: The pullover is knit top down and in the round. Stitches are cast on provisionally so you can decide later whether to add a turtleneck or leave as crewneck. The sweater is worked in chevron pattern which continues onto the sleeves. The sleeves have snug fit (0-2” of positive ease), whereas the body features quite a bit of ease (recommended 4-8” of positive ease).
If you are substituting yarn, worsted weight may work better than DK as it is important to have a firm fabric at the given gauge.
