Zealand Falls
Discover the artistry of knitting with our beautifully crafted Zealand pattern, designed for knitters who enjoy a methodical and creative approach. This pattern is worked from the bottom up, allowing you to create a stunning garment that fits perfectly. The armholes are artfully split, and after completing the shoulders, a lovely collar is added, which is sewn along the back neck for added elegance. A quick decrease row skillfully forms a delightful gather at the back of the collar, giving it a refined, feminine touch.
The sleeves are expertly crafted by picking up stitches and incorporating short row sleeve caps, followed by working down in the round, ensuring a comfortable fit and stylish finish. Whether you're a seasoned knitter or just starting, this pattern challenges you while offering the satisfaction of creating a timeless piece.
To achieve the perfect look for your Zealand creation, it’s crucial to pay attention to gauge: 19 stitches and 26 rows equals 4 inches in Stockinette Stitch (St st). Taking the time to check your gauge before you start can save you time and ensure the best results.
Our sample was expertly knit using The Plucky Knitter Cozy yarn, a luxurious choice that enhances the overall aesthetic of the finished piece. If you're looking for alternatives, we’ve listed a suggested substitute below, so you can find the perfect yarn to bring your Zealand vision to life.
