Florarium Sweater Light

Introducing the Florarium Light, a highly anticipated adaptation of the original Florarium Sweater, now designed specifically for fingering weight yarns! This modern round yoke pullover features a beautifully crafted floral stranded colorwork pattern, showcasing contrasting floats on the right side of the yoke, hem, and cuffs. The Florarium Light has a slightly A-line shaped body and long sleeves, making it both stylish and comfortable for everyday wear. The pullover is expertly worked from the bottom up in the round, ensuring a seamless and polished finish.

This versatile knitting pattern is available in nine sizes, offering approximately 8-13 cm (3-5 inches) of positive ease for a comfortable fit. Whether you're a seasoned knitter or just starting out, this pattern provides clear instructions to help you create your very own stunning garment.

For the main color, you'll need approximately 150 [170, 215, 260, 305] [350, 395, 435, 480] grams of Darnie from Studio Donegal, a luxurious 100% merino wool in a 4-ply weight with an impressive 410 meters (448 yards) per 100 grams. We recommend the shade 8812 Oatmeal for a soft, neutral base that beautifully complements the contrasting colors.

For the contrasting color, gather around 40 [65, 105, 150, 195] [240, 285, 325, 370] grams of Soft Merino Tweed from Kilcarra Donegal Yarns. This 100% merino wool, also in a 4-ply weight with the same yardage, is shown in the rich and vibrant shade 5585 Autumn Leaf, perfect for adding that extra pop to your floral design.

When it comes to achieving the perfect fit, make sure to check your gauge! The recommended gauge is 20 stitches and 30 rows over 10 cm (4 inches) measured in stockinette stitch in the round after blocking, using 3.5 mm (US 4) needles. This ensures that your finished project not only looks fantastic but also fits wonderfully.

Start your knitting journey with the Florarium Light pattern and create a stunning pullover that is sure to turn heads! Enjoy the combination of craftsmanship, style, and comfort in this enchanting floral design.
