Introducing A Pocketful of Posies – a light-weight pullover with a deep rounded neckline. Dress it up or down, it’s suitable for all-season wear. This design is worked overall in Seed Stitch Diamonds, a 10 stitch by 12 row repeat that’s easy to remember. I saw puffy little flowers in its diamonds, and happily found its name. Worked bottom-up and in-the-round, with sleeves worked in-the-round too, this design is mostly seamless, except for the sleeve caps that are briefly shaped with short rows at their ends and set in. It’s a fun knit. Enjoy!
