The Turtle Dove Pullover is a seamless, top-down knit designed to pair perfectly with the matching Turtle Dove Shawl. Inspired by the same cozy textures and thoughtful details, this pullover combines cables, bobbles, and moss stitch for a classic and engaging knit.

The pullover is worked from the neckline down, with cable and bobble panels on the front, back, and sleeves, and moss stitch textures along the sides. The cable pattern continues over the raglan increases and is fully charted. The body and sleeves are separated at the underarm and finished individually, and the neckband is picked up and knitted in the round for a neat finish. You can fold the neck double or leave it unfolded for a funnel neck.

Originally, the Turtle Dove Shawl was a mystery knit-along inspired by Home Alone 2—a story of friendship and connection that continues with this pullover design.

Pattern details:

• Construction: Seamless, top-down
• Features: Cable and bobble panels, moss stitch texture
• Cable patterns are charted only (no written instructions)
• Matching pattern: Turtle Dove Shawl

A satisfying project for knitters who enjoy texture, detail, and timeless design.
