City Lights Pullover

£8.00

Channel cars streaking by, the lights of a skyscraper, the way a city shimmers from a distance, and a million other flashes of urban nighttime moments. Crocheted in four pieces and seamed, this stitch pattern echoes the appearance of a knitted rib, but with added density and squish. A simple motif adds twinkling colour pops and flashes of movement wherever you like.

City Lights was first released in Pom Pom Quarterly, Issue 35.

Lion Brand, LB Collection® Superwash Merino Yarn (100% Extra Fine Wool)

Pattern Notes

City Lights is crocheted sideways in four pieces, in a stitch that creates a ribbed look. The front and back panels begin at the side of the body, with increases and decreases at one end to shape the raglan and neckline. The sleeves are shaped at both ends with large increases and decreases. With the RS facing, the hem edge of each piece will be on the right and the top shoulder edge on the left.

US crochet terminology used throughout.

Tips for success:

Since the pieces are made in vertical rows, row gauge accounts for the width of the body and sleeves, while stitch gauge accounts for the length. If you’re struggling to get gauge, focus on row gauge and adjust the length. Also, it’s better to be under gauge (have a smaller jumper that can be stretched when blocked) than over gauge (end up with a larger jumper) - but it’s best to have the right gauge ;).

It would be a good idea to measure the front and back as you go. If it feels too wide, adjust by working fewer rows at the middle of the neck.

If the neck opening is too wide after joining all four pieces, work a few decreases around to reduce the opening and make a wider ribbing.
