Summer Love

Overview of Design:

Perfect for light layering, this stunning modified dropped shoulder sweater is designed to celebrate transparency with a luxurious laceweight silk/mohair blend. The design features large eyelets prominently showcased on the front of the garment, adding a touch of elegance and sophistication.

Version 1 is crafted with sewing thread to create the illusion of eyelets suspended in mid-air, resulting in a unique and eye-catching piece. This full-length sweater is finished with a delicate fingering weight I-cord binding around both the neckline and sleeves, enhancing its refined aesthetic.

Version 2 offers a slightly cropped silhouette with short row shaping at the back, leading to a trendy high-low hem. In this version, eyelet rows are introduced using a contrasting fingering weight yarn, creating a striking visual contrast. The sleeve hem features a charming eyelet edge, perfect for a more playful look.

The "Summer Love" sweater is knitted seamlessly from the top down, with both side and sleeve seaming. The sleeves are uniquely knitted flat, starting from the top of the sleeve, ensuring a comfortable fit. After seaming, a stylish 2 x 2 ribbed hem for the body completes this beautiful garment.

For the ideal fit, a recommended positive ease of 20-30 cm (8-12 inches) is suggested. In the pictures, Version 1 (shown in green) features 32 cm of positive ease, while Version 2 (in a vibrant turquoise) showcases 28 cm of positive ease, providing options for various body types.
