Maltings
Maltings is a beautifully crafted pullover inspired by the iconic converted Victorian malt barns at Snape Maltings, located in the scenic Suffolk, UK. Nestled on the tranquil banks of the River Alde and surrounded by lush, rolling green fields, these malt barns create a stunning contrast against the expansive Suffolk skies.
When designing this pullover, I drew inspiration from the unique architectural shapes of the industrial buildings and their harmonious relationship with the picturesque rural landscape. The captivating graphic yoke on this special pullover mirrors the remarkable reflection of the maltings in the river, allowing you to carry a piece of this serene setting with you wherever you go.
The Maltings pullover pattern offers a top-down seamless knitting experience, making it a delightful adventure in color. Choose two neutral tones paired with a vibrant pop of color for the motifs, or let your creativity shine by selecting an adventurous all-out color fest. Whichever color palette you choose, the cozy design features worsted weight yarn at an 18-stitch gauge, so you'll be able to whip up this warm and inviting sweater in no time!
This versatile pattern includes two options for the yoke colorwork:
- “Spicy,” designed for confident colorwork knitters (as displayed in the photos); and
- “Mild,” perfect for those who are new to colorwork knitting and looking to develop their skills.
Rest assured, this pattern has been professionally tech edited to ensure clarity and ease of use. Whether you are an experienced knitter or just starting your journey, the Maltings pullover will be a fantastic addition to your collection of knitting patterns. Perfect for chilly days or snuggling up by the fire, this design blends functionality with artistic flair.
