Ottavia sweater
This sweater is a simple model, made with the bottom-up technique, which is distinguished by
one characteristic: it is played entirely on multiples of 8, the base stitches for all the motifs from
which it is composed. It is made entirely with Fair Isle motifs, in solid color, which contrast with the
shaded effect of the base.
The garment made corresponds to a size S and has a regular fit.
The Dolomiti yarn I used is unfortunately no longer in production; it was a 375 m x 150 g fingering yarn.
To achieve this effect, it’s important to use a printed yarn of this type as the base of the sweater, and use a solid color yarn for the edges and contrasting designs.
