Haha! It sort of sounds like “Estelle pulverized”! That’s not at all what I mean, though, so don’t worry! : )
As soon as I published the Estelle cardigan, I realized that she would also make a lovely pullover – and had to start knitting immediately! So, in case there were any like minded knitters out there, I wrote up the pattern for the pullover, combined it with the cardigan pattern and am now offering them both as a set. Anyone who purchased the original Estelle cardigan pattern will receive an update including the pullover and anyone who wants to purchase the pullover pattern will get the cardigan pattern to boot! Whew! I just said “cardigan” and “pullover” about 138492395 times, so I’ll stop. Here are some lovely pictures of the . . . um . . . ok, the thesaurus is telling me I can also call it a slipover . . .
This version of Estelle is worked in Lorna’s Laces Shepherd Worsted Solid (mine is in Pine, a color that I am in love with). I’m currently obsessed with this yarn and may use it for every single project in the future. The gauge is still 17 sts and 24 rows per 4 inches in Stockinette stitch. Lorna’s Laces is a bit plumper than the Araucania called for in the original pattern, and gives a nice thick and soft fabric.
The pattern offers sizes XS, S, M, L, 1X, 2X, and 3X – which corresponds to final sweater bust measurements of 32, 36, 40, 44, 48, 52, and 56 inches. The lace pattern is charted and written out, so take your pick!
Both patterns are available as a set for 6.50 (USD) as a download in my Ravlery Store or through Paypal. Just click below!

thanks for the bonus pattern! but now I don’t know which one to make :-(

As someone else that purchased the original pattern, I, too, would love to say Thank You for the bonus pattern.
I had the cardigan Estelle as my next sweater project to work on. Now I don’t know whether to make the cardigan or pullover. Hmmm, maybe I’ll make both! :-D
Love the pullover also. I purchased the cardiagan, now I can’t wait to start one of them , Maybe both! Thanks So much ;-)
i LOVE this! thanks!

I’m thinking of buying this pattern but have a couple of questions first. Many ravelers have commented on the tight sleeves – have you made any pattern changes for that, or do you have a suggestion? Also I noticed a couple of comments about increase instructions. Are they now included? Thanks.
Hi Robin, I haven’t seen the comments about the tight sleeves, but if you feel that the sleeves are getting too tight as you’re working them (you can try it on as you go), then I would just omit some of the decreases, and space out the decreases you do work across more rows. When you say increase instructions, are you talking about the instructions for the type of increase I used? I used the make 1 away increase – here’s a video: http://www.knittinghelp.com/video/play/make-1-away-continental. Hope this helps!
I have another question to help me figure out if I have enough yarn: what is the yardage requirement for the different sizes? Thanks.
Hi again! For the XS (S, M, L, 1X, 2X, 3X) sizes, you need 3 (4, 4, 5, 5, 6, 6) skeins of Lorna’s Laces Shepherd Worsted which has 225 yds per skein.
