Muscardin
Wine and knitting? Yes, please! Discover the delightful Muscardin sweater pattern, an exquisite circular-yoke design that will elevate your knitting experience. This stunning DK-weight sweater features a unique colorwork motif of stylized vine leaves, perfect for knitters looking to embrace the beauty of nature. The small bobbles, crafted in a novel way, resemble clusters of juicy grapes, making this sweater a true conversation starter. The leafy colorwork details on the cuffs beautifully complement the larger design that graces the round yoke, adding an extra touch of sophistication.
Inspired by a rare grape variety hailing from the sunny regions of southern France, the Muscardin pattern is worked from the top down, showcasing a hybrid round yoke and raglan construction that enhances fit and comfort. It features a classic round neckline adorned with twisted ribbing, thoughtfully designed waist shaping, and short rows to lower the back yoke for a flattering silhouette. This combination of techniques makes Muscardin not just stylish, but also easy to wear and practical.
The knitting pattern is user-friendly, available in both metric and US terminology, ensuring that all knitters, no matter their location, can create this beautiful sweater. Please note that while the colorwork patterns are captivating, they are provided solely in charted format, requiring a bit of chart-reading skill for best results.
To achieve optimal results, be sure to meet the gauge of 18 stitches × 28 rounds = 10 cm / 4" in stockinette on larger needles, blocked.
