Rikke Bloom Sweater

Rikke Bloom Sweater is the latest design in the Rikke series – a beautiful and eye-catching sweater featuring a unique floral pattern worked in four contrast colors on a solid-colored background.

The sweater is knitted in either Önling No 1 (75% merino wool, 25% angora) or Önling No 3 (100% organic merino wool). Both yarns create a soft, warm, and luxurious sweater where the texture enhances the delicate pattern. Rikke Bloom Sweater is both fun to knit and a true joy to wear – a design that will bring happiness to your wardrobe for many years to come. The sweater has a relaxed fit with 15–25 cm / 6–10 in of positive ease, giving it a casual and feminine look.

Rikke Bloom Sweater continues the simple and timeless expression that defines the Rikke series while adding a playful and colorful motif that gives the design a unique and modern twist. Find the entire Rikke-series here.

Procedure

The entire sweater is worked in pattern. Begin with the back, which is first worked back and forth with short rows at the neck to shape the shoulders. Then pick up sts along the left shoulder and shape the front on that side. Next do the same on the right front, just mirrored, and when the neckline shaping is finished, cast on sts at center front, join the work, and work in the round in pattern for the remainder of the body. Finish with a rib edge. The neckband is worked in rib pattern. Sts for the sleeves are picked up along the armhole edge, work pattern in the round, and finish with a rib edge.
