Flora Sweater
Introducing our beautifully designed relaxed, boxy fit sweater, perfect for cozy days and stylish outings. This charming sweater features a classic boat neck and delightful slight balloon sleeves, making it an essential addition to your wardrobe. Our pattern guides you through working the sweater seamlessly in one piece, knitted in the round from the bottom up. The design features an intricate leaf sprig stitch adorning the bottom hem and cuffs, accompanied by an elegant embroidered flower. The leaf stitch panel is thoughtfully charted for ease of use, adding a unique touch to your knitting project.
The main body of the sweater is crafted in smooth stocking stitch, while the raglan decreases are cleverly concealed behind the leaf stitch detail, maintaining the aesthetic beauty of the design. This pattern includes detailed instructions that accommodate standard UK dressmaking measurements for body and sleeve lengths, but offers flexibility for adjustments to suit your individual size, ensuring a perfect fit every time.
Difficulty: Intermediate – While the majority of the sweater is skillfully worked in stocking stitch, you'll encounter concealed decreases behind the elegant leaf cables along the raglans, providing just the right challenge for knitters looking to refine their craft.
Sizes Available: Designed to fit a chest measurement of 75-80 (81-88, 89-97, 98-106, 107-118, 119-129, 130-141, 142-152) cm, offering a range of sizes to suit various body types.
Recommended Yarn: Use DK yarn; you'll need 50g x 10 (10, 11, 13, 14, 16, 17, 18) balls, each with approximately 100m, ensuring you have enough yarn for your delightful sweater project.
Necessary Needles: We recommend circular needles in sizes 3.5mm & 4.00mm with a length of 100-120cm. Don’t forget to have DPNs on hand for the sleeves unless you prefer the magic loop method.
Whether you're a seasoned knitter or an intermediate enthusiast ready to tackle a new project, this relaxed sweater pattern will inspire creativity and bring warmth to your wardrobe. Start your knitting journey today and enjoy crafting this stylish sweater!
