Dreamers Sweater has an overall feminine mood, which is completely inspired by alpaca yarn. In order to bring the soft and fluffy nature of alpaca yarn out, the cable pattern is fully arranged on the front. On the sleeves, the tiny bobbles are placed along the cable stitch in a zigzag pattern. Normally, the cable stitches are mainly placed between the purl stitches, however, this pattern is designed between the knit stitches to give a soft feeling.

When I was thinking about the design of this sweater, it was the moment when Korea advanced to the round of 16 at the 2022 World Cup in Qatar. At that time, a song named Dreamers by BTS Jungkook was playing and I got so moved. So, I named this sweater
Dreamers Sweater. I feel the atmosphere of the dreamers and overall design of the sweater are very well together.

The sweater is knitted seamlessly from the top down. The neckband is worked in ribbing and folded in half. And short rows are worked to raise the back of neck. It is then joined in the round, and the yoke is shaped with raglan increases. Once the yoke increases are complete, the sleeve stitches are put on hold, and it continues down the body. After finishing the body, rejoin the yarn to the sleeves and work in the round to the cuff.
