Wanderer Pullover is designed to fit like your favorite raglan sweatshirt. One of those comfy-cozy pieces you’ll want to grab for all the time! This pattern is intended to fit with 3 – 8” / 8 – 20 cm positive ease (select the lesser amount for a more fitted look or the larger amount of ease for a relaxed fit). Wanderer Pullover includes two options for the herringbone collar as well as two options for finishing the bottom hem.

Sizing
1 (2, 3, 4, 5) (6, 7, 8, 9)
Designed to fit with 3 – 8” / 8 – 20 cm positive ease. Select a size 3 – 8” / 8 – 20 cm larger than your actual bust measurement.

Finished Bust Circumference
36 (39, 42, 46, 50) (54, 58, 63, 67)” / 90 (97.5, 105, 115, 125) (135, 145, 157.5, 167.5) cm

Suggested Needles & Notions

• US 11 / 8 mm, 16 – 24” / 41 – 61 cm circulars or size needed for herringbone gauge
• US 10.5 / 6.5 mm, 16” & 32” / 41 & 80 cm (or longer) circulars or size needed for stockinette gauge (main needle)
• US 9 / 5.5 mm or 2 sizes smaller than main needle, 32” / 80 cm (or longer) circular (only needed if working the alternate hem option in twisted rib)
• DPNs or circulars in both sizes for working small circumferences (sleeves)

Note: I suggest using interchangeable needles which will allow you to use a smaller size LHN for the herringbone stitch sections. This will not affect gauge but makes herringbone easier to work.

• Distinct BOR marker plus 3 additional markers
• Darning needle, scissors, waste yarn
