Piilo Top-Down Sweater Knitting Pattern | Designed by Jonna Helin

Description

The Piilo (hideaway in Finnish) is a relaxed, boxy pullover knitting pattern designed by Jonna Helin. Featuring dropped shoulders and a neat chimney neck, this top-down sweater pattern is both simple and satisfying to knit.

The pullover is worked mostly in the round, with the back and front sections beginning flat. Despite its uncomplicated design, it includes clever techniques such as jogless stripes and invisible colour changes in the ribbing, making it a great beginner-to-intermediate knitting project.

Knitted with worsted weight yarn, Piilo is a versatile addition to any handmade wardrobe, offering a cosy, comfortable, and stylish knitted sweater. This digital knitting pattern is available in English.

This pattern is a digital PDF download. After purchase, you will be given a unique link to download the pattern to your computer, phone or tablet. Please note, due to the nature of digital knitting patterns, we do not offer refunds on digital purchases.
