This is Part 3 of the Fogata Pattern for our Fogata CAL guests!

The Fogata Pullover is what cozy dreams are made of! Inspired by the classic Nordic round-yoke pullovers, the Fogata Pullover has a relaxed fit with striking colorwork around the yoke, body and sleeves with a close-to-the neck neckline which can be turned into a turtle-neck. It is worked top-down and all colorwork is done using tapestry crochet and following a color chart. The body can be as long as desired and it sports a super flattering high-low rounded hem. Given the yarn weight used and the big stitches, it is a quick project that you wonāt be able to put down!
Part 3 includes the Body/Sleeve Separation, as well as Body and Hip Shaping Instructions. Find the full Crochet Along schedule in the product images.
This listing will only be available during the month of February.

Alternative Yarns
Any bulky or chunky weight yarn will work, but keep in mind that denserĀ yarns will make forĀ a heavierĀ pullover. In order to have a light garment that is warm but nor overwhelming, I recommend using airy or blown yarns like Wonderfluff.
Here are some I recommend based on their weight and fiber content:
On the more denser side, these are some other good options:
GAUGE
11 sts x 10 rows in esc worked in the round with 7 mm hook and after blocking = 10 x 10 cm / 4 x 4 in.
Be sure to block and check gauge before starting by making a big enough gauge swatch (at least 15 x 15 cm / 6 x 6 in). Certain materials might sag and fabric will extend too much with weight, so adjust hook size appropriately.
