An exclusive design by Ann Budd, featuring hardy wool yarn, a zippered yoke, and stand-up collar, this pullover is designed for cold, rugged wear. Worked primarily in the round, the need for seaming is almost completely eliminated. Ann’s clever construction and instructions provide you with the direction to make a beautifully tailored sweater that fits perfectly. You’ll love the finishing touches that make this pullover an “Epic” design. And, just the like the name, this sweater was designed to be unisex - great design for all genders and sizes!

You will need three sizes of knitting needles for this project, one smaller size for trim and two sizes for the main part of the sweater. Due to the tighter gauge of the “Slip-Stitch Woven Pattern”, the yoke and sleeve caps are worked on needles one size larger than used for the body and lower sleeves.
Finished Measurements: approx 36 (40, 44, 48, 52, 56) inches / 91.5 (101.5, 112, 122, 132, 142) cm chest circumference (suggested ease 2-3in / 5-7.5cm)
Materials required: River City Yarns Epic Yarn (100% virgin wool; 200 m/100 g): 6 (7, 7, 8, 8, 9) balls. Pattern sample made in colour 910 Steel.
Note: River City Yarns Epic Yarn has been discontinued. For substitutions, we recommend Cascade 220 which is also a 100% Peruvian wool, for the closest fibre match. Alternatively, Berroco Ultra Wool or Rowan Pure Wool Worsted would also be good matches if you would like a superwash wool substitution.
