My latest sweater - for me! No pattern, improvised top down raglan with round yoke and Asian back correction. The body is tailored with decreases at six points, like in tailored shirts - on the sides and at two points on the front (symmetrical under the bust) and on the back (symmetrical under the shoulder blades).
Inspired by Gaby's Lavandula, I added beads to my very simple blue sweater and I'm so happy with the result. Initially I had started adding the beads randomly, as in the Lavandula, but then it occurred to me that they could be a feature, forming a pattern, so I alternated placing them in the center and in the end of each of the 16 sections, within which I was adding the stitches to form the round yoke.
Pattern: Starry Night (personal pattern)
Yarn: Filpucci Ascot - Italian bobbin yarn, 70% merino, 15% cashmere goat, 15% angora, 170g
Needle: 3.5 mm body, 3 mm broken rib
Time to knit: 17 days
Absolutely stunning! I'm very impressed with your skills at design.
ReplyDeleteThank you! The main difficulty in designing is to figure out what I want, then calculating and knitting it is easy :)
DeleteI love the simple neckline and how you just put beads at the top yoke area.
ReplyDeleteThank you! This year I'm obsessed with stockinette knitting and simple designs, I'm on my fourth stockinette sweater /or dress since the beginning of the year :)
