a lovely botanical knit, with a gorgeous pattern of cascading leaves, boughs and berries that begins at the neckline, unfolds lavishly across the yoke, and trickles down the body in small and simple ribbed garter stitching.

not a difficult pattern, but not one that can be easily memorized, and i had to follow closely the 64 row stitch chart throughout.

i didn’t choose the right yarn for this project, though, as fuzzy yarns, such as the lovely Drops Alpaca I used, don’t actually show off too well the complex stitch pattern, which remains a little undefined and blurred in that fluffy wool texture - a real shame after all that work!
