POW: Museum Piece Pullover by Faina Goberstein

Join us at Maker Festivals Colorado, the ultimate crafting extravaganza in Loveland from April 10-13, 2024, where the beloved Yarn Fest evolves with an exciting addition of beads and jewelry artists!

Faina Goberstein has worked her magic again with the Museum Piece Pullover. Knitters of any skill level can handle this bottom-up circular yoke garment. You can make the sleeves as long or short as you like, because you’ll knit them separately and attach them to work the yoke. The yoke features a cascade of cables that gently lead up to a wide neckline shaped by short rows.

Museum Piece Pullover

The refined fit afforded by the side shaping gives the pullover a distinct form and shape, and creates the perfect canvas to highlight the unusual cabled yoke. Read Faina discuss this cable pattern in her own words in her Designer Q&A here.

Imagine yourself exploring the Museum of Modern Art in New York City walking through the Women Artists and Postwar Abstraction exhibit (which I hear is very good), all while displaying your own skill and artistry in this chic sweater. Try knitting this pullover in a wool and viscose blend as suggested in the pattern and you’ll see how quickly this becomes of your favorite multi-season garments.
