Jardin de mousse

Discover the enchanting Jardin de mousse (“moss garden”) pullover, inspired by the serene gardens cultivated by a friend in southeast New Brunswick en Acadie (Canada). This unique knitting pattern offers a delightful blend of artistry and nature, capturing the spirit of a mossy garden with its lush, textural qualities. Crafted with a rich spectrum of tonal greens using kettle-dyed Peruvian wool, the pullover reflects the vibrant hues found in natural moss.

This relaxed-fit pullover is designed to embody comfort and style, featuring a beautiful nature-inspired lace pattern that adorns the lower body and the elegant 7/8-length sleeves. Made from 100% superwash merino wool in a fine fingering weight, the Jardin de mousse pullover is versatile enough to be worn on its own or layered over other garments, making it a perfect choice for any season.

The construction of the Jardin de mousse pullover is both engaging and efficient, as it is worked top-down and seamlessly using circular needles. The square neckband is meticulously crafted in garter stitch, adding a touch of sophistication to the overall design. The yoke is cleverly separated at the underarms, allowing for the lower body and sleeves to be continued independently. Each lower border is finished with a charming decorative rib stitch, enhancing the pullover's visual appeal.

This comprehensive knitting pattern includes a detailed schematic for sizing, clear written instructions, and an easy-to-follow chart, making it suitable for knitters of various skill levels. Whether you’re looking to create a warm, cozy piece for yourself or a thoughtful handmade gift for a loved one, the Jardin de mousse pullover is sure to become a cherished addition to any wardrobe.
