Floe
Introducing the Floe Sweater, a stunning seamless circular yoke design that is worked from the bottom up. This versatile knitting pattern is perfect for knitters looking to create a stylish and cozy addition to their wardrobe.
In the sample picture, the Floe Sweater is showcased using two yarns held together—a luxurious 4-ply wool combined with a delicate lace mohair and silk blend. This unique combination not only results in an airy but warm fabric but also creates a beautiful halo effect that enhances the overall aesthetic of the sweater. If you prefer simplicity, the pattern can also be easily adapted for a single DK weight yarn, offering flexibility for your knitting projects.
To ensure a successful knitting experience with the Floe Sweater, you should have a solid understanding of knitting seamlessly in the round. The pattern includes detailed instructions for both wrap and turn short rows as well as Japanese short rows, allowing you to choose the technique that works best for you. Additionally, the stitch pattern is provided in both written and charted formats to accommodate different knitting styles and preferences.
It’s vital to pay attention to the measurements provided in the pattern, as these reflect the finished sizes of the sweater. When selecting a size to knit, it’s recommended to consider adding some ease to your bust measurement. For instance, the Floe Sweater is designed with a delightful 2 inches of positive ease, making it comfortable and stylish for various body types.
To assist you in your yarn selection, we have included several DK weight yarn recommendations for knitting the Floe Sweater. You can choose to work with a single yarn or opt for the mesmerizing combination of 4-ply yarn and mohair for added texture and warmth. This allows you to customize your project according to your personal style and yarn preferences.
Whether you're a seasoned knitter or just starting your knitting journey, the Floe Sweater pattern offers an enriching experience. Embrace your creativity and make this beautiful piece today!
