Reposado
Introducing Reposado, a delicate and versatile layering piece designed to be worn loose and swingy for ultimate comfort and style. This stunning garment features a unique lace pattern along the sides, adding a beautiful touch at the hem and extending gracefully along the sleeves. The design truly shines when crafted in a yarn with just the right amount of texture, making it perfect for a range of occasions.
For my version, I opted to knit it using fingering weight yarn doubled, but if you prefer a different approach, a straight DK weight yarn will also work beautifully for this project. The construction is straightforward: the piece is knit in the round up to the armholes, then separated at that point, with the front and back worked flat to the shoulders individually. To cater to different knitting preferences, the lace pattern instructions are provided in both charted and written formats.
When selecting your size, I highly recommend choosing one that allows for 4-6"/10-15cm of positive ease at the bust, achieving the relaxed fit as shown in the sample. This will ensure not only a flattering silhouette but also freedom of movement. The Reposado sample was crafted using Yarn on The House Best Friend, a luxurious choice that enhances the lace details beautifully. Below, you can find suggested substitute yarns to explore for your own Reposado creation.
Embrace your creativity and bring Reposado to life in your favorite colors and textures. Whether you're new to knitting or an experienced crafter, this pattern offers an enjoyable project that will quickly become a cherished addition to your wardrobe.
