If you’re a fan of any of the other ones, than you’ll love The Boxy Blooms Cabin pullover! The same signature look as the rest of the collection but…cozier. It has a comfy relaxed fit, and the cutest button up collar. You’ll be a pro at this one if you have made any of the other boxy blooms.
I used Lion Brand Heartland yarn in the color Indiana Dunes. You know I love a good heartland yarn sweater. There are so many different color options to choose from.If you plan on getting yarn, check out my kit! You’ll get the printable pattern download for free. Of course I also made a video tutorial for my visual learners or beginners! If you have any questions, head to the video first, your answer might be there! You can check it out here!
Getting photos of the Boxy Blooms Cabin Pullover was an adventure. I wanted it to look like a brisk fall day, however, I live in Utah. We usually have very warm weather still in September. It was 82 degrees when we had our photoshoot. Needless to say, I was extra warm and cozy during it. haha.
The Boxy Blooms Cabin Pullover is the cozy, cold-weather addition to the Boxy Blooms collection. It features the same classic stitches and signature look as the rest of the collection, with a relaxed, comfortable fit, long sleeves, and a cozy collar finished with a button closure. It’s the kind of sweater you’ll want to pull on when the temperatures drop and settle in for a cozy day at home. A video tutorial is included to guide you through the pattern.
To make a gauge swatch Ch 24 and follow rows 1-10 of the back panel. Your swatch will be larger than the required gauge. Measure 4×4” within that swatch to check gauge.
The Ch’s within the rows go towards your St count.
The Ch 3 at the start of the rows count as 1 Dc.
The Ch 5 at the start of the rows count as 1 Dc + 2 Chs.
When pattern instructs to work “in St from 2 rows below”, you will work your Dc around the Ch 3 from the previous row, with your St worked into the center St from the row before it. When you pull up your loop, pull it up a bit higher than normal to your current row, so that your St isn’t too tight. You will do this in Row 2 (working into the starting Ch) as well as Row 6 and all it’s repeats.
The front panel neckline and shoulder shaping are split into 2 separate sets of instructions, depending on size being made. Locate your size and follow only those directions.
To adjust the length of your pullover, add or remove rows in multiples of 4, to the back panel. Add or remove the same amount of rows to your front panel, just before you split the neckline. Take into account this will alter the yardage requirements above.
To adjust the length of your sleeves, add or remove rows in multiples of 2 before fastening off.

Front Panel-
Repeat Rows 1-32(32, 32, 32, 36, 36, 36, 40, 40) of the back panel. Do not fasten off. We will now be splitting and shaping the neckline. Locate the center St of your panel and place a SM into it. Sizes XS, S, L, XL, 3X your center St is the center dc of the group of 3. Remaining sizes, your center St is a puff St. Next, count 4 Sts to the right of your SM and place a second SM into it. Finally, count 4 Sts to the left of your center SM and place a third SM into it. You have 9 Sts marked off in the center of your panel. These Sts create the neckline and will be left unworked.
In the next section we will be splitting the neckline and working the Right and Left Shoulders. It is split into 2 separate sets of instructions, depending on what size you are making. Locate your size and follow the correct set of instructions.

Assemble Panels:
Block your panels to the measurements listed above. I did a light steam block.
Place your front and back panels together RS facing.
Using your preferred seaming method attach the front panel to the back panel at the shoulders (I used my needle and did the mattress stitch across). Be sure your panel is aligned and that you aren’t bunching or skipping stitches.
Next, using the same joining process as above, we will be attaching the sleeves to the pullover. Make sure the center of the sleeve is aligned with the shoulder seam. Be sure to check that your sleeves are even on both the front and back panel as you go. It is helpful to use SM’s here to keep your sleeve in place as you join.
Finally, fold your pullover so that the back and front panels are on top of each other, RS facing. Seam from the end of sleeve to the underarm and down the side of the pullover. Repeat on the other side.
Button Band:
With your panels RS facing, join yarn with a Sl St to the bottom left corner of the lower neckline. We are going to be working 2 separate button bands in the ends of Rows 33(33, 33, 33, 37, 37, 37, 41, 41) through Rows 41(41, 41, 41, 45, 45, 45, 49, 49) of the lower neckline on both the left and right side.

Row 2: Ch 3 (counts as 1 Dc), 1 mini puff in next St, *Ch 1, Sk 1, 1 Mini Puff*, repeat from * to * until 1 St remains, 1 Dc in last St, turn. (19 Sts)
Row 3: Ch 1, 1 Sc into each St and Ch Sp across, turn. (19 Sc)
Rows 4-6: Ch 1, 1 Sc into each St across, turn. (19 Sc)
Fasten off.

Collar:
With your yarn still attached, turn your sweater RS out. We will now be working the collar in rows, along the top of the neckline and button bands. Exact St count is not crucial to the pattern here, just be sure to end with an odd number of Sts in Row 1.
