The Wullpullover — its name taken from the Low German word for wool, spoken across Northern Germany and on the Island of Rügen — is a rustic, characterful raglan sweater designed to honour the natural qualities of Pomeranian Coarsewool. The recommended yarn, Pommernglück Fein by CALLING SHEEP, is sourced from the native Pommernschaf breed and spun in Germany: 100% undyed, minimally processed fleece with a distinctly earthy, firm hand that gains beauty with wear.

Worked seamlessly in the round from the bottom up in DK weight, the Wullpullover joins separately knitted sleeves and body on a long circular needle before shaping the yoke with raglan decreases. The neck is elevated and shaped for an optimal fit, and optional mock seams add structural stability along the body and sleeves — a clever detail that borrows from flat knitting within a circular construction. Decorative crochet braids on the raglan seams and a sewn bind-off on the crew neck neckband are offered as optional finishing touches.

The pattern is available in eight sizes and includes detailed schematics and a size guide. It suits intermediate to experienced knitters comfortable with seamless raglan construction and is an excellent project for anyone wanting to explore the character of heritage wool and traditional German sheep breeds.

For a classic fit please choose a size 5-10 cm larger than your actual chest circumference. For a more relaxed fit choose a size 10-15 cm larger. The sample in the photos is size 2 with 15 cm positive ease.

You can choose from nine unisex sizes, with finished chest circumferences of:

  • 88 (99) 105 (109) 115 (126) 133 (143) 153 cm

A schematic with comprehensive measurements is included in the knitting pattern.
