Guilloche Pullover - Pattern Only

GUILLOCHE Pullover; pattern designed by Ailbíona McLochlainn.

Designed for our beautiful Traditions Donegal Tweed, in the Fossil colourway, Ailbiona has created an instant classic with Guilloche.

The Guilloche pullover is an exercise in geometric elegance. Named after the embossed surface of Fabergé eggs, this design features miniature cables that can be worked either with or without a cable needle. The classic raglan construction creates a simple backdrop to offset details such as the fold-over neckline, the split hem, and the elongated cuffs. The ribbed edgings and the raglan lines align perfectly with the guilloche motif, creating a seamless, sculptural look. With an easy-to-memorise stitch repeat and instructions fully charted for your convenience, this all-over cabled sweater is accessible to a wide range of skill levels, and is simpler to knit than it looks.
