Yarn: June Worsted

Ainur Berkimbay’s Center Point Popover is a sweater on its own terms, defying definitions at every turn and keeping you guessing in the best way.

Roomy and cropped with an extreme drop-shoulder construction, the Center Point Popover is a marvelous meld of math and design.
To make the popover, you knit the back and front separately—each growing outward from a few stitches, with four spokes radiating from that striking center point. The back is worked in the round as a full square, while the front is worked flat as three-quarters of one, with that missing quarter creating the V-neck. You then join the two panels, shape the hips and shoulders, and knit the short sleeves. If you’d like, you can add long ribbed sleeves, a cozy hood, or both!
In our cotton and linen June Worsted yarn, it’s a totally on-point summer sweater—or layer it up year-round. This yarn really rises to the occasion of a dimensional welted stitch pattern like this one, giving you lots of squishy depth. After a machine wash and dry, the fabric softens even more, taking on a gently brushed, lived-in look that just gets better and better!
Pick from a palette of sun-touched colors inspired by early summer, each with a bit of flaxen warmth and a touch of linen’s gorgeous, wild character visible on the surface.
