Poppy Pods

Discover the enchanting world of stranded colorwork with our Poppy Pods sweater pattern, designed for skilled knitters who love to work in the round and from the top down. This stunning sweater features a convenient steek, allowing for easy construction, and includes unique afterthought pockets that are seamlessly integrated using waste yarn. Plus, we provide a detailed chart for working beautiful Duplicate Stitch patterning, ensuring your project stands out.

In this pattern, there are no specific instructions for waist shaping, giving you the freedom to personalize your fit according to your style preferences. The yoke, sleeves, and pocket motifs are all thoughtfully charted, making it simple to follow along as you create your masterpiece.

For more precise fitting, be sure to consult the schematic for approximate finished sizes. Most of the garment is worked in a single color, allowing for easy customization and 'best fit' adjustments as you knit. Whether you prefer a cozy oversized look or a more fitted silhouette, this pattern accommodates various sizing needs.

While I chose not to use the Ladderback Jacquard technique in this sample, I have included a helpful tutorial for those interested in utilizing this technique for longer float areas. Additionally, you will find my customary small tutorial and a link for successful steeking. For this sample, I employed the crochet method, ideal for the elastic nature of the yarn used in the design.

Join the growing community of knitters creating their own Poppy Pods sweaters, and embark on a joyful journey of color and craftsmanship. Whether you're an experienced knitter or just starting, this pattern offers both challenge and satisfaction, making it a perfect addition to your collection. Happy knitting!
