Knit away! Above: You can see the garter stitch “ridges”, but you definitely can’t see the individual stitches in the fabric. This way, you don’t get confused as to which side you are on, or whether you should be knitting or purling. I’ve had a lot of practice feeling for stitches with not only this yarn, but with faux fur yarn as well ( here and here).īecause it is tough to see the stitches in the fabric, I stuck with using only the knit stitch for this pattern. With crochet, you would rely on “feeling” for the stitches. In my opinion, it is easier to knit with this yarn than crochet because you can indeed see the stitches on your needle and are able to easily work into each stitch. If you’re a new knitter, the two skills you might need to try before beginning this are a basic decrease (k2tog) and knitting in the round (for the turtleneck portion).Ĭan I see my stitches with this fuzzy yarn?īecause this is knit, and your stitches are held on your needles, yes you can see them! However, once you’ve knit the fabric, it is very difficult to see individual stitches. The turtleneck is knit in the round, but is also knit only with the knit stitch. The entire pullover is made with the knit stitch! It is knit flat, in rectangular panels, and seamed to finish. At the end, add a simple turtleneck to turn up the cozy factor. Knit two rectangles for the front and the back, then two lightly shaped sleeves (also knit flat). How do we knit a sherpa pullover?Īs I mentioned earlier, this truly is a simple pattern, and dare I say, almost beginner friendly! Other than the yarn being a little bit of a challenge if you’ve not worked with fuzzy yarns, it doesn’t get a whole lot easier than this top. Simply knit for more or fewer rows on the front and back panels. Go ahead and make it longer to cover the booty (lol) or make it shorter so it’s got the trendy cropped look. It’s super easy to make it longer or shorter. Above: The back of the knit sherpa pullover. Whether I’m going for a walk to clear my head, or I’m driving my daughter to school, “throw on” type pullovers and jackets are my thing. So often in the cool fall and winter months, I’m rushing out the door and throwing on whatever is warm and easy. Can’t you?įor my knit sherpa pullover, I just wanted a nice, oversized sweater that could be worn with jeans or activewear. I love the color of this knit pullover and can imagine it being a beautiful throw blanket as well. If you missed my crocheted sherpa coat (complete with a hood), you can see that (here). I ordered this sherpa fleece yarn from Lion Brand a while back and made sure to get enough to make a crochet and knit project with it.

If you like sherpa, fleece, or fuzzy sweaters, this one’s for you! This beginner friendly knitting pattern is super simple and it creates the SOFTEST, warmest pullover ever.
