Réalta Pullover by Andrea Gaughan
$10.00
1 cable motif, 2 designers, and 2 completely different designs! This pattern is part of a special collaboration with Norah Gaughan who has released a cousin pattern, Morahan, based on the same cable motif, the "Ogee X" from the Knitted Cable Sourcebook. Réalta is the Irish word for Star, and is a gender inclusive dropped shoulder pullover.
The pattern begins with a saddle shoulder construction and is worked seamlessly. Shoulder and armhole shaping results in a relaxed, boxy sweater that still has an excellent fit. Réalta is worked top-down, making it easy to adjust the length of the sleeves and body to your personal preference.
Inclusive sizing in 10 individual sizes. Charts & written instructions included.
Please join the Gaughan-Along KAL by knitting either pattern! The Knit Along will run from September 12 - December 31, 2025. Use code GAUGHANALONG for 10% off your kit now! Hurry, limited time offer!
