FALCONARA, cotton jumper in a hole pattern
Introducing the perfect knitting pattern for a stylish and versatile jumper, designed for those who appreciate casual elegance. This exquisite design features a unique lace pattern, affectionately dubbed the “key-hole” pattern, delicately bordered by moss stitch at the bottom body, around the neck, and along the bottom sleeves. The jumper is crafted with short set-in sleeves, providing a contemporary touch while ensuring comfort and ease of movement. For a refined finish, optional fine tip-coloured edges can be added, allowing you to customize the look to suit your personal style.
The pattern also includes an alternative long-sleeved version where the intricate lace pattern is replaced with a smooth stocking stitch for a different aesthetic. Each aspect of the pattern is detailed, comprising both written instructions and helpful charts, making it easier for knitters to follow along. This project is worked flat, ensuring a straightforward knitting experience.
Skill level ranges from 1 (beginner) to 5 (advanced), with this design falling comfortably at a level 3, catering to knitters who possess some experience and are ready to tackle a slightly more challenging project.
Measurements throughout the pattern are provided in both centimeters and inches, ensuring clarity for all knitter preferences.
