Lavendula Sweater
pdf download-pattern in English
Lavendula Sweater is worked from the bottom up. The sweater is knitted holding one strand of each yarn quality together throughout. The work begins by working the two lower garter stitch borders. The borders are worked flat (back and forth) and form side vents on both sides. The body is then worked in the round in stockinette stitch. The work is devided at the underarms. Stitches are picked up for the sleves, which are worked from the top down, in the round. Finally stitches are picked up for the neckband.
Lavendula Sweater is worked primarily in stockinette stitch with garter stitch borders. This makes the sweater an easy and relaxing knit, as it is worked mostly in knit stitches. Finishing is kept to a minimum, requiring only a short seam under each arm. Lavendula Sweater is a simple and elegant sweater featuring beautiful details. The yarn has a stunning colour transition that makes it enjoyable to knit while creating a striking and unique finished garment. Designed with comfortable positive ease, the side slits create a flattering silhouette and add a subtle waist-shaping effect. This design is an excellent beginner-friendly project, offering simple construction combined with thoughtful details.
