Belmullet Pullover
Belmullet Pullover is a cabled pullover inspired by traditional Irish sweaters. Named after the town in Ireland my grandparents lived by before they moved to the United States, this design is a nod to my generations of knitting ancestors and my grandmother who first taught me to knit.
With a top-down construction, modified drop shoulder fit and shoulder shaping, this sweater blends the classic Aran sweater style with a modern fit and construction. This gender-neutral design includes two fit options, as well as guidance on further modifying sleeve and body lengths to suit your own body.
You can also purchase this pattern through Ravelry if you’d like it to be in your Ravelry library.
