Blooming Meadow

A meadow full of blooming wildflowers is the ultimate embodiment of summer for me. This stunning knitted top captures the essence of that vibrant field with its delicate lace yoke featuring the intricate Estonian echo flower lace pattern. Just imagine wandering through a sunlit meadow, surrounded by wildflowers, wearing this beautiful piece in the heat of summer!

The exquisite lace yoke is crafted bottom-up using a provisional cast on, ensuring that the flower lace pattern appears in the perfect orientation. Built-in decreases within the lace design elegantly transition into the stockinette stitch area above, culminating in a flattering neckline that’s finished with an i-cord bind off. After completing the yoke, you’ll pick up the provisionally cast-on stitches to seamlessly work the remainder of the top using a top-down method, which includes both the body and the sleeve trim.

Aside from a few short rows for neckline shaping, this lovely summer sweater is primarily worked in the round, making it not only beautiful but also easy to assemble. This pattern is perfect for knitters looking to enhance their skills and create a timeless summer piece. Whether you’re a beginner or an experienced knitter, you'll find joy in creating this floral-themed top, ideal for warm summer days or bringing a touch of nature into your wardrobe.
