Preview Knit: Who Could Stay
An irresistible textured pullover
We think everyone deserves a lightweight textured pullover. In lofty Rambouillet Sport from Forest Lane Fiber, Who Could Stay boasts a classic folded crewneck and seamless set-in sleeves.
Unlike our other patterns, this sweater is graded on a men's sizing chart. That means it does not widen as dramatically from the shoulders to the bust, it's designed to fit a taller frame, has wider shoulders, a taller neck rise, and a deeper armhole. Like our other patterns, Who Could Stay does include optional bust darts.
Please note that this is an explicitly gender-inclusive project.
The yarn used in this project is Forest Lane Fiber Co Rambouillet sport. We never require you to use the yarn we used and encourage you to use yarn that suits your budget. If you choose to use this yarn Larissa is offering a special pre-order with sweater-quantity discounts on a sliding scale.

We've created a brief for you with everything you need to decide if this project is right for you. Inside, you'll find the illustrated schematic, yardage, fit guidance and needles.
What is a Preview Knit?
We're committed to creating patterns that make a promise and keep it.
Our pre-release process includes inviting a group of knitters to experience the final, edited draft of the pattern. They receive a copy of the pattern, access to a super supportive knitalong group, and are encouraged to make fit mods to create their dream project (and the designer is available to coach on that as needed). In exchange, we ask for feedback on their experience with the pattern.
These patterns are finished and ready to launch, you're not expected to finish your garment by the launch date. Feedback is welcome, what we really want to know is how the pattern holds up to real-life use. That's why knitters are encouraged to make the pattern work for their measurements, their yarn choices, etc.
