Millicent

Experience speckle fun with our enchanting pullover designed specifically for Julie Asselin’s stunning new speckled colorway, “Fleurs Pressées”! Named after Millicent, a sweet and feminine name that beautifully combines the notions of mildness and innocence, meaning “strong in work,” this pullover embodies the perfect blend of elegance and robustness. The design features a delightful mix of soft stockinette and garter stitch in the body, complemented by a striking cable knit border that adds a touch of sophistication.

For those looking to customize, this pattern offers flexibility: with a few simple adjustments, you can work the pullover in the round without the crossover design. It’s perfect for knitters seeking to express their creativity while enjoying a comfortable fit. The pullover is designed with a size of 33.25”/83.5 cm, modeled with a slight negative ease for a flattering silhouette.

Yarn: This project uses Julie Asselin Leizu DK yarn, known for its quality and vibrant colors. A suitable substitute yarn option is provided below for your convenience.

This stylish sweater features a compound raglan construction, crafted from the top down in one seamless piece. This innovative design technique allows for a more flattering fit by varying the rate of increase throughout the garment. Specifically, the increases are more rapid between the neck and shoulders, as well as towards the end, curving seamlessly around the underarm. In contrast, the increases are more gradual in the sections in between. The pullover is thoughtfully designed to allow for overlapping backs, enhancing both its aesthetic and wearable comfort.
