Emme, a sweater with a fresh look and a romantic feel. The rich textures make this an attention getter and when knitted in the Organic cotton, your sweater feels very airy and light.
There is a lot going on in this project. From bobbles to other interesting, yet easy to accomplish stitch patterns. The fluted 3/4 length sleeves continue with the same stitch patterns as the body.
Knitted top down all in one piece, with an option to pick up and knit your sleeves flat or in the round straight from the body.
The pattern is easy to adjust to make the body/sleeves longer if needed.
This is not a boring knit.
