BLUE GRAVITY is a sweater design inspired by the Rose Blue Gravity, a Japanese rose with a stunning close to true blue colour. The yarn I used for this design is from ULA+LIA, a very soft Cashmere/Wool blend from Mongolia.
BLUE GRAVITY is a top-down sweater with a deep V-neck and an intricate lace pattern on the back, and short-row shaping to create a high-low hem.
The range of ease across sizes is 18-20 cm/7-8”.
The picture shows size 2 with 18 cm/7” of positive ease.
