Celebrate spring with Bloom Basket, a short-sleeved sweater that captures the charm and texture of a classic Easter basket. Knit in four separate pieces and seamed for a tailored finish, this design features a striking basketweave-inspired cable running down the front, with a more delicate echo of the pattern on the back. An i-cord neckline adds a clean, modern touch to complete the look.

The inspiration for this sweater came from the nostalgic image of Easter baskets brimming with colorful eggs and fresh blooms. In this design, the wearer becomes the flower—gracefully framed by soft cables and thoughtful construction.

Bloom Basket is the perfect project for knitters who enjoy structured garments, elegant cables, and designs that tell a story. Dress it up for spring gatherings or pair it with your favorite jeans for a cozy-chic everyday look.
