Bartonia
Introducing the Bartonia Sweater Knitting Pattern - a charming and stylish garment that is perfect for any knitter looking to create a unique piece of wearable art! Bartonia is expertly knitted flat in individual pieces from the bottom up, featuring set-in sleeves that are seamed together after knitting for a polished finish. This waist-length sweater, combined with elbow-length sleeves, not only makes it a delightful project but also a fast one, ideal for both beginners and seasoned knitters.
The highlight of the Bartonia sweater is its beautiful yet easy-to-memorize lace pattern, which adorns approximately one-third of the elegant back and envelops two-thirds of the fashionable front. The remaining sections skillfully employ a reverse stockinette stitch, adding a touch of texture to the overall design. The wide and high neckline is specifically crafted to accentuate your collarbone, making it a flattering choice for various body types.
You’ll begin your Bartonia journey by casting on stitches for the waist, followed by strategically increasing for the bust. This well-structured approach ensures a perfect fit while allowing you to enjoy the rhythmic nature of knitting.
