Noten

Immerse yourself in the vibrant world of modern folklore with this stunning knitting pattern that pays homage to the master of colorful patterned fabrics, Dries van Noten. This unique sweater design beautifully combines traditional folklore elements with contemporary aesthetics, making it a must-try for knitters who love rich colors and intricate textures!

This delightful sweater is worked seamlessly in the round from the top down, allowing for a smooth and enjoyable knitting experience. The pattern begins with a cozy collar before transitioning into a captivating colorwork yoke, creatively shaped by a series of increases that define the body and sleeves. Enjoy the intricacies of colorwork techniques as you explore a blend of slipped stitches and stranded knitting. The body also features charming side pleats at the bust for added dimension and elegance.

Once the vibrant body is completed with an array of dynamic color blocks, you'll return to the previously set-aside sleeve stitches and work them effortlessly in the round from the top down, ensuring a cohesive look and feel. This design is perfect for knitters looking to expand their skills while creating a standout piece that showcases their love for color and craftsmanship.

The pattern is showcased in La Fee Fil Merino fingering yarn, a luxurious 4-ply (100% wool) option that offers an exquisite drape and sheen, measuring 400m (437yds) per 100g. Please note that the original yarn has unfortunately been discontinued since shortly after its purchase at Berlin Knits 2017, but fear not! You can substitute it with a wide variety of other 4-ply fingering weight (sock) yarns with comparable yardage, allowing you to personalize your finished piece to your heart's desire.
