The Yildiz Pullover is part of a collection of patterns that explore the symbology found in Middle Eastern textile art. It features Turkish star motifs, called Yildiz, that are often found in Persian and Turkish rugs. Although these Yildiz symbols can vary in shape/size, they are invariably used to represent luck and good fortune on these textile pieces. This seamless pullover is knit from the top down and features a rolled neckline, sleeves and hem. After separating for the sleeves the colorwork motif continues onto the body and an option for 3/4 length or short sleeves. It's designed to be worn with 2-4 inches of positive ease, but can be sized up for a larger fit if desired.

We were thrilled when Maral reached out to work together. She chose our new yarn brand in the colors Agave and Baby Frog - to pair with Spincycle's new yarn, in the colorway, Ghost Ranch. Yildiz is a very fun project for beginning and advanced sweater / colorwork knitters.
Now that Plump is available in Small Wonder, we have added a new color combination! Small Wonder is our custom colorway, exclusive to our shop, and costs a little more to make.
Important Note: Maral's sample has short sleeves, and a slight variation on the colorwork. Please refer to these photos when completing the colorwork for this variation. These bundles contain enough yarn to knit the short or 3/4 sleeve variation and to complete the variation of colorwork as shown here.
