Maple Flower
Introducing the Maple Flower Sweater, a wonderfully comfortable bottom-up drop shoulder design perfect for knitters of all skill levels. This stunning sweater features a beautiful cabled texture on the front, contrasting with a simple stockinette stitch on the back and sleeves, plus a stylish mock turtleneck collar that adds a touch of elegance. The body of the Maple Flower Sweater is expertly worked in the round until you reach the armholes, where you will separate the front and back for a tailored fit. Designed with ease of wear in mind, German short rows are utilized to shape the shoulders, ensuring a perfect fit that you’ll love to wear. These shoulders are then seamlessly joined together using a three-needle bind-off, creating a clean finish. For the sleeves, stitches are picked up and knitted downwards in the round, with strategic decreases that create a slightly tapered silhouette for a flattering look. The high collar, hem, and cuffs are knitted in a cozy 2/2 ribbing, adding a delightful texture and stability that will retain its shape over time. With intuitive textures that are easy to follow, the Maple Flower Sweater is an excellent choice for knitters looking to tackle their first cabled sweater project. Whether you are a beginner or an experienced knitter, this pattern provides a gratifying and enjoyable experience. This knitting pattern is available in both English and French (from page 13), making it accessible to a broader audience.
