McKenna Short Sleeve Sweater
Introducing the exquisite romantic, feminine sweater inspired by the enchanting character "Elise McKenna" from the beloved movie *Somewhere In Time.* This captivating sweater seamlessly blends early 1900's charm with modern elegance, perfect for knitters seeking a timeless piece.
The "McKenna" sweater features a stunning lower body knit in a deep lace pattern, showcasing intricate workmanship that adds a touch of sophistication. The bodice, on the other hand, presents a simple yet elegant texture pattern that highlights the design's versatility. A beautifully flattering sweetheart neckline enhances the feminine silhouette, making it a must-have garment for any stylish wardrobe. To complete the look, the short sleeves elegantly mirror the stitch patterns found in the bodice and lower body, creating a cohesive aesthetic.
This lovely sweater is knit from the bottom up, allowing for an intuitive building process. The bodice is cleverly split at the armholes, enabling you to work the front and back separately for a more tailored fit. After skillfully joining the shoulders with the 3-needle bind-off technique, you’ll pick up stitches around the armholes to knit down the sleeves, culminating in the delicate lace border. An easy short-row technique is utilized to form the sleeve caps, ensuring a comfortable fit for all-day wear.
Whether you're an intermediate knitter or looking to challenge your skills, the "McKenna" sweater offers a delightful project that combines romantic styling with modern techniques. Perfect for layering or wearing on its own, this sweater will add a touch of vintage charm to any outfit. Discover the joy of creating your own "Elise McKenna" sweater and bring a piece of cinematic history to life with every stitch!
