Professor Pullover Knitting Pattern, Plus Knitting with Stripes

January 24, by Sarah White. Leave a Comment

There’s nothing better than a roomy, boxy sweater on a cold day. It’s just so cozy and easy to wear over leggings (or, let’s be real, pajama pants) and they’re pretty quick and easy to knit as well.

Perfectly Knotted’s Professor Pullover is a great example of a cozy, boxy, oversized sweater (it’s meant to be worn with 15 to 25 percent positive ease) that also has great style because of the addition of simple stripes.

The sweater is a top-down raglan style and offers sizes from 30 to 70 inches in 4-inch increments. There’s also a modification for broad shoulders.

The Professor Pullover is available on Ravelry.

It got me thinking about how much I love a good stripe pattern. While this pattern has the stripes planned for you, did you know there’s such a thing as a random stripe generator? This would be so fun to use if you’re planning a stash-busting project or just wanted to combine a few colors in the same project in an interesting way.

I’ve also used part of the Fibonacci sequence to make stripes. This is where the last two numbers are added together to make the next number (1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13…).

If you’re working stripes in a project and don’t want to cut the yarn every time your color changes, here are some ways to carry yarn up the side of the project while knitting stripes.

Also, do you know the history of stripes? I shared this post back in 2013 and had since forgotten what I’d learned, so you should check it out, too!

And speaking of raglans, have you ever wanted to design your own? This post shares designer Kristen Ten Dyke’s process for designing a raglan. It is, of course, math heavy, but she uses spreadsheets to make it easier.
