Dissent Pullover Update!
Deanna is sitting barefoot on a piano bench in a warm, sunny room reading a book. She’s wearing a pale grey pullover with a dark red patterned yoke.
Dissent Pullover
I designed the Dissent Pullover as a fingering weight version of my original Dissent cardigan that was inspired by the style of the late U.S. Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, particularly a jabot that she wore when reading dissenting opinions. Check out the #dissentpullover tag on Instagram to see some projects. There’s also a Dissent Toque cause I can’t get enough of this concept.
Update
I’ve made one small change that a lot of knitters have asked for. I changed the text from dark grey to black to increase readability. When I designed my brand colours and layout I chose dark grey for text because I loved the look. It seemed like it was somehow just subtly more sophisticated. But I’ve heard from knitters since that black is just easier on their eyes, especially knitters with low vision. That matters more than my little aesthetic preference, so in the future all my patterns will feature black text and I hope to go back and update older patterns little by little.

Happy knitting!
If you know me, you’ll already know that I’m inspired by American Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg. This is my second design that’s an interpretation of Justice Ginsburg’s Dissent jabot, a decorative collar that she wears when she reads dissenting opinions in the court. This fingering weight pullover comes with several versions to mix and match, including different sleeve and body lengths. I was thinking of persistent women as I knit all three samples. Wear yours with feminist defiance.
There’s also a worsted weight cardigan and a hat version of this design available.
I designed this toque as a fun addition to my Dissent series, patterns inspired by American Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg. I thought it would be great to have a hat pattern that could be used as a swatch for either the worsted or fingering weight sweater. I’ll admit that I had no plan, no thought, of Ruth Bader Ginsburg dying before its publication. Now that she’s gone, I feel like this pattern has an added weight of sadness to it. I had to stop for sobbing while re-writing this paragraph. But I also want to continue my celebration of her lifelong fight for justice and her intense and incredible accessorizing. This pattern is customizable, including instructions for beanie and slouchy versions, so make your perfect hat to (subtly) express your Dissent. Here’s to Justice Ginsburg. May her memory be a blessing.
The Dissent series also includes a worsted weight cardigan and a fingering weight pullover.
U.S. Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg is known for her dissenting opinions. When she reads a dissent, she often wears a particular collar, or “jabot.” It’s a striking visual adornment and as soon as I saw it, I knew I wanted to design a yoke sweater inspired by it. This sweater, Dissent, is my tribute to RBG. May we all channel her when wearing our own Dissent.
A fingering weight pullover and a hat version of this pattern are also available.
