Forest Henley Pullover Pattern Download

BY Purl Soho

Whether you’re wandering through a grove of towering evergreens, cozied up in a library chair, or out to dinner with city lights all around, our Forest Henley suits the scene! The banded collar and signature Henley placket join a wealth of thoughtful details that makes this sweater a carefully-tailored beauty. You make the Forest Henley in pieces, starting at the bottom and working the front and the back separately. Keep the body cropped, like we did, or continue knitting for a longer fit, then, after seaming the collar, shoulders, and sides, pick up each sleeve and knit it top down and in the round. And because options are a knitter’s best friend, the pattern is written for either our 100% merino Knitting Yarn or our cotton-yak Morning. The first, heathered and toasty for a super classic staple; the second, soft and breathable for a gorgeous three-season sweater... Whichever you choose, the down-to-earth beauty of this Forest Henley will make it one of your favorites!
