Sometimes we don’t need loud colors or bold shapes—just something soft, steady, and beautiful to hold onto.

The Hope Pullover was born in a quiet moment, when the world felt uncertain and I turned to the familiar comfort of my knitting needles. To me, hope is gentle. It’s not about big declarations—it’s the soft belief that things will get better. That feeling guided every stitch of this design.

This feminine top-down pullover features a graceful scalloped neckline and flattering circular yoke. It’s worked seamlessly from the top down and comes with instructions for two yarn weights—fingering and DK—so you can choose the version that fits your lifestyle and mood.

Whether you’re knitting through a season of change, or simply looking for a peaceful project to settle into, I hope this sweater offers you the same comfort and quiet joy it gave me.
