Humulus

### Humulus Sweater Knitting Pattern **Description** Discover the exquisite charm of the Humulus sweater, a beautifully crafted piece that celebrates the elegant hop flower, showcasing its delightful flavors and decorative characteristics. This stunning piece embodies the distinctive traits of hops, often described as zesty, piney, earthy, and floral. The Humulus sweater features an intricate colorwork pattern, skillfully knitted in a warm and slightly rustic yarn that envelops you like a comforting hug. Experience the joy of wearing a sweater that not only stands out for its aesthetic appeal but also captures the essence of this beloved botanical. The Humulus sweater is designed to be worked seamlessly from the top down, making it accessible for knitters of varying skill levels. The construction begins with short rows, creating a higher back neck for added comfort and style. Next, the round-yoke is crafted in a smooth top-down fashion through to the sleeve separation. Before placing the sleeve stitches on hold, additional short rows are employed to perfect the yoke shaping. The body of the sweater is then knitted in rounds down to the hem, followed by crafting the sleeves from the top down to the cuffs. **Yarn** For this beauty, we recommend using Snældan 3 ply in natural shades, which come in at 284 yards (260 m) per 100g. Additionally, Snældan 3 ply in colored options, providing 142 yards (130 m) per 50g, adds vibrancy and character to your project. This design is showcased in a size small with an inviting 6” (15 cm) positive ease at the bust, allowing for a relaxed and flattering fit. **Suggested Substitute Yarns** Whether you're looking to experiment with different textures or colors, an array of suggested substitute yarns is available below.
