Blath flower sweater

price excl. VAT €8.00

It is a very playful design, which features a colourwork pattern resembling stamens and petals, as if you are indeed wearing a flower on your shoulders. The pullover is worked top-down in the round and comes with 2 sleeve options: exaggerated puffy sleeve, gathered at the cuff, and a classic fitted sleeve.

Published in LITLG No. 7 | Into the Hills Cabin Living.

You can take a closer look at my sample and discover the design process in Episode 31 of my podcast.

Sizes:

The pattern is written for nine sizes 1 (2, 3, 4, 5) (6, 7, 8, 9) with a finished bust circumference of ca. 93 (103, 113, 123, 134) (144, 154, 164, 174) cm // 37.25 (41.25, 45.25, 49.25, 53.5) (57.5, 61.5, 65.5, 69.5) in incl. at least 15 cm (6 in) of the recommended positive ease.

The sample is shown in size 3 on a 160 cm (5.3 ft) tall model with ca. 84-66-94 cm (33–26–39 in) body measurements.
For more of the finished garment measurements, please refer to the schematic.

Yarn:

MC: ca. 470 (510, 555, 600, 665) (735, 780, 875, 925) g or 5 (6, 6, 6, 7) (8, 8, 9, 10) skeins of Twist DK from LITLG, 100% Superwash Extrafine Merino Wool, with 230 m (252 yds) in 100 g, shown in colourway Autumn;
