Catechu

Introducing the Catechu sweater, a charming lightweight knit perfect for those who appreciate the delicate details in their apparel. This stunning piece features an elegant floral lace hem and intricate twisted ribbing details that truly set it apart. Designed with adaptability in mind, the Catechu is knitted from the bottom up in the round, transitioning into an A-line shape that flatters various body types. When you reach the armholes, the front and back are separated for flat knitting, allowing you to create a beautifully shaped neckline with the help of short rows. The stability of the shoulders is enhanced by using a three-needle bind-off, ensuring that your garment holds its shape beautifully over time.

To complete the look, the sleeves are picked up and worked in the round with careful decreases, resulting in a close yet comfortable fit that enhances your silhouette without feeling restrictive. This versatile pattern is designed to accommodate various skill levels, featuring both a detailed chart and comprehensive written instructions to guide you every step of the way. For those who prefer visual learning, a video tutorial is also included to demonstrate the special ribbed twist technique.

The sample for the Catechu sweater was lovingly knit using Jardin de Laine Classic Sock yarn in the enchanting Caramel Mou colorway, showcasing how the right yarn can elevate the overall aesthetic of any project. Whether you’re knitting for yourself or as a thoughtful gift, the Catechu is sure to impress.
