The Elton Pullover by Joji Locatelli is a softly textured sweater that pairs fingering weight yarn with suri silk lace.
Knit in alternating bands, the combination creates a light, airy fabric with gentle warmth and subtle texture. The result is a relaxed, easy-to-wear pullover that layers beautifully through the cooler months.
For these kits, we’ve brought together a selection of colour duets in our Allure base, paired with soft, coordinating suri silk shades.
This is a pre-order. Yarns will ship in approximately 3 weeks. Pattern is not included and can be purchased separately via Ravelry.
Why we love it
This is a lovely balance of texture and softness.
The alternating yarns create interest without feeling busy, while the fabric remains light and easy to wear. It’s an enjoyable knit with a gentle rhythm, and the finished piece has a soft, slightly hazy look from the suri silk.
Perfect for
Knitters looking for a lightweight but warm sweater with soft texture and thoughtful colour pairing.
