The third sweater in my Vodka Lemonade series! I loved my Blueberry Vodka Lemonade so much that I decided to create a cold-weather pullover with the same detail.

I had this gorgeous Beaverslide 90/10 Merino/Mohair 2ply yarn in stash, and it knits up so beautifully at an aran weight gauge that I knew the project would be done in no time and become a fantastic winter wardrobe basic. I was right!

The touch of mohair in the fiber makes for a gorgeous halo and adds the perfect amount of drape and softness to the fabric. The various shades of yellow and the subtle heather of the wool show up beautifully in all this stockinette, and my sweater did knit up in less than a week!

As with my other Vodka Lemonades, this pullover is worked from the top down in the round. It features a textured and slip stitch detail along raglan seams, which are worked on a stockinette body and sleeves.

Yarnovers along the seams shape the yoke, and short row shaping is used to round the neckline. Once the yoke is complete, the texture and slip stitch detail is added under armholes and worked down each side of the lower body. This body detail is finished off in a split hem at each side. Long, classic sleeves complete the silhouette.

I love the perfect slouch in this one, and my daughter styled it as she would wear it - a little longer than me, but perfect over a skirt with some casual boots.

This is a very easy pattern to adjust for fit and notes are included in the pattern on where and when to adjust length or width of body/sleeves. Larger sizes include hidden body shaping to create width across the bust without affecting either yoke depth or sleeve circumference.

A note on yarn: Although the suggested yarns are all listed as worsted weight, they are a heavy worsted and work up nice and round on US#8/5mm needles at what I consider an aran weight gauge of 4sts per 1”/2.5cm. If substituting yarn, keep this in mind.
