5 years ago I published my Rock It Tee pattern which featured a beautiful v-neck, i-cord edgings, and was knit by striping merino with mohair for a light as air, ethereal knit. For my Pop Rock Pullover I kept all of those beautiful details but switched up the construction and added a long sleeve option. I couldn’t be happier with this new take on an old fave!

Sizes
32 (35, 38, 42, 44, 48) 52, 56, 60, 64, 68” / 81.5 (89, 96.5, 106.5, 112, 122) 132, 142, 152.5, 162.5, 172.5 cm

Samples are shown with about 6” of positive ease.

The sizes are the actual finished measurement of the garment. Select a size that is 6” larger than your actual chest measurement to achieve the recommended ease.

Gauge
24 stitches and 32 rows = 10 cm / 4” square in stockinette stitch knit in the round on larger needles after wet blocking.

Recommended Needles
3.75mm (US size 5) 40 and 80 cm / 24” or 32” or longer circular needle.
Or size needed to achieve gauge.

Yarn
Fingering weight and lace weight (optional for stripes).

Sleeveless sample features TFA PureWash Fingering (113g = 450 yds) in Cloak striped with TFA Kid Mohair (50g = 459 yds) in Bluebird. Both yarns are held single throughout.

Long sleeve sample features Hello Stella Highland Sock yarn (100g = 459 yds) in a variety of colourways - this yarn has been discontinued, luckily lots of hand dyers make beautiful mini skein sets.
