Flocon Sweater
Flocon - snowflake in French - Sweater is a simple garment with a subtle texture created by the Ridged slip stitch pattern. For this sweater, I imagined the surface of the sea shining in the beautiful morning sun in May and even the shimmer of young leaves. Please work the sweater in your favorite color and evoke your favorite view. The back yoke is knit first with increases from the shoulders down. The front stitches are picked up separately along each shoulder, then joined after the front neck slope shaping. The back and front are joined at the underarms to be knit in the round to the hem with Ridged slip stitch. Stitches are then picked up around the armhole for the sleeve and the cap is shaped with short rows. The sleeve is then knit in the round with Ridged slip stitch. To finish, stitches are picked up around the neck opening and worked in twisted rib for the collar. This Flocon Sweater was designed for Candide and Bérénice yarn by ‘De rerum natura’.

Flocon Tee
The Flocon Tee was created in the hope that this pattern could be enjoyed in more seasons. This pattern is an add-on pattern to the Flocon Sweater, which is worked in the same way as the sweater up to the body and then picks up more stitches in the armholes than the sweater. The sleeves are knitted shorter without decreases. This Flocon Tee was designed for Candide and Bérénice yarn by ‘De rerum natura’.
Please note that this is not a full pattern and requires reference to the Flocon Sweater pattern to complete this garment.
