Navelli

Introducing the Navelli lightweight summer sweater, a beautifully crafted garment perfect for warm weather knitting. This relaxed sweater is designed to be knitted in the round from the bottom up and features eye-catching colorwork at the body hem. The innovative folded sleeves showcase a subtle peek of contrast color, adding both visual appeal and structural interest to your knitting project. Ideal for both novice and experienced knitters, the Navelli sweater incorporates a unique technique that separates the front and back at the armholes, allowing you to work them flat while utilizing short-row shaping at the shoulders for a perfect fit.

The Navelli sweater is inspired by the picturesque town of Navelli in Italy, renowned for its vibrant fields of crocuses and high-quality saffron. This design is the third installment in my beloved "Knitaly" series (following the popular Tegna and Marettimo patterns), each celebrating the beauty and craftsmanship of Italian culture. Whether you’re looking to enhance your knitting skills or create a stylish piece for your summer wardrobe, the Navelli sweater is a delightful choice that combines comfort, elegance, and a touch of Italian charm. Get ready to impress with this unique pattern that will elevate your knitting collection and keep you cool and stylish all season long!
