“My design draws inspiration from the stunning Rococo style showcased in the Wallace Collection in London,” says Emma Vining. “The centerpiece of the sweater is a unique twisted stitch design around the neckline, reminiscent of a delicate semi-precious stone necklace. The enchanting sleeves feature elegant ‘bracelets’ at the wrist, adding a touch of sophistication. The main body of the sweater is crafted in stocking stitch, which gracefully transitions to reverse stocking stitch as it meets the intricately designed twisted stitch necklace. To ensure an even tension throughout the knitting process, I incorporate increases for each cluster at the beginning, resulting in a beautifully textured finish.”
