Esther

Introducing the “Esther” waisted sweater, a beautifully designed piece featuring intricate lace elements on the front, back, and sleeves. This sweater is an ideal project for knitters who are familiar with lace patterns, making it a perfect addition to your spring and summer wardrobe.

The “Esther” sweater is expertly worked from the bottom up in individual pieces, which are sewn together for a polished finish. For my sample, I used the luxurious pure silk yarn “Mora” from malabrigo, which adds a delightful sheen and softness to this garment. However, this design will also shine in fine merino or alpaca yarns, offering versatility for different textures and seasons.

Waist Circumferences of the Finished Sweater: 26¾”, 30”, 34½”, 37¾”, 41¾”, and 46” (68, 77, 88, 96, 106, and 117 cm) - tailored for a flattering silhouette.
