Promo: Pattern will be free on the first day of summer, June 20th!

I was inspired by Delft, Wedgwood, and other modern china to create a “softer”, non-geometric colorwork yoke. The result was the “rose” series, with “Montrose”, “Melrose”, and “Rosalina”.

“Montrose” features an asymmetrical motif with flowers, buds, and leaves with some exposed floats for added texture.It also has double cuffs and a “petal” hem. As “mont” is “mountain” in French, this is the warmer version with a high neckline and long sleeves. It is the perfect lightweight sweater knit in sport weight yarn!

Look for the third version, “Rosalina”, the children’s tunic coming this summer!
