A NOTE FROM THE DESIGNER
Hello, and THANK YOU for your interest in this pattern!
The Kirlin Pullover Sweater takes its name from my grandfather – a phenomenal man equally as skilled in storytelling as he was in the sciences. This sweater is your opportunity to tell your own story! Use colors you love – and either knit this sweater and wear it as is, or embellish the yoke (and any other part of the sweater you’d like) with embroidery or crewel work.
LEVEL
Intermediate

You’ll need 1600-1800 yards of your Main Color (MC) and approximately 100-150 yards of each of your Contrast Colors (CC1-CC7). This is a good place to use up leftovers!
