The Amiata Pullover is the newest addition to a collection that honors the majestic landscapes surrounding iconic volcanoes, paired harmoniously with the Etna Tee, Vesuvius Tee, and Sabatini Cardigan.

Design & Construction

Amiata is made top-down with a drop-shoulder construction and features perfectly fitted shoulders to eliminate excess fabric around the underarms. The pullover offers:

  • Texture: An airy stitch that is light yet warm.

  • Silhouette: A wide, oversized fit with tapered sleeves.

  • Details: A split high-low hem finished with elegant ribbing.

    Size Inclusivity

What sets Amiata apart is its commitment to size inclusivity. The design ensures that the shoulder drops gracefully in the same spot for all makers, irrespective of their size. These meticulous details promise a timeless piece that you’ll find yourself reaching for time and time again.

I finished my version of the Amiata pullover! I made short sleeves, used a different colour for the single crochets, the ribbings and a folded neckline. The yoke were made from same colourway but different base of yarn. I love it!
