FIORE DI LINO

Introducing FIORE DI LINO (THE LINEN FLOWER), a beautifully crafted knitting pattern designed for a seamless sweater that is worked from the top down. Featuring raglan increases, this pattern highlights a flattering soft ‘A’ line shaping that drapes elegantly on the body. The construction begins with V-neck shaping, transitioning from flat rows to in-the-round knitting for the bodice and sleeves, ensuring a smooth and seamless finish. The lace pattern incorporated into the design is not only visually stunning but also easy to knit, making it perfect for knitters of various skill levels. To achieve your ideal sleeve length, simply determine how many pattern stripes you want to incorporate.

MATERIALS

The delightful sample shown in this pattern is worked with high-quality LINENGARN by VÄXBOLIN in the gorgeous colorway BLEACHED, allowing for a light and airy finish.

NEEDLES

For this project, you will need circular needles and double-pointed needles (or you can opt for the magic loop method). We recommend using US size 2.5 (3.0 mm) needles, or your preferred size to achieve the specified gauge.

GAUGE

To ensure your FIORE DI LINO sweater turns out just right, maintain a gauge of 23 stitches and 34 rows on US size 2.5 (3 mm) needles in stockinette stitch, measuring 4 x 4 inches (10 x 10 cm).

TOOLS

Be sure to gather essential tools, including stitch markers, a tapestry needle for finishing, and either waste yarn or a stitch holder to assist with construction.

REQUIREMENTS

This pattern necessitates skills in knitting both in-the-round and flat, utilizing circular needles and double-pointed needles or the magic loop technique for the sleeves. You will also need to master slanted increases (m1l / m1r) in both knit-wise and purl-wise, alongside the lovely lace pattern that adds charm and texture to your sweater.
