Description

This sweater captures the fleeting moment between winter and spring — when the world softens and begins to awaken. Beneath the hush of melting snow, the first flowers quietly emerge, delicate yet resilient. The season’s final snowflakes drift past as snowdrops bloom through traces of white, and tender green shoots rise gently toward the light, welcoming the promise of warmth and renewal.

The Snowmelt Garden Pullover is worked seamlessly from the top down using a circular yoke construction, allowing for effortless try-ons and easy customization of body and sleeve length. Designed with an intentionally oversized fit, it features a deeper yoke and lowered armholes that create a modern, relaxed silhouette.

Multiple neckline options are included to suit your personal style: a double-folded collar, full turtleneck, mock turtleneck, or classic crew neck. Subtle short-row shaping at the upper yoke gently raises the back neckline, enhancing both comfort and fit.

The pattern is written for 10 adult sizes, offering flexibility in choosing your preferred ease — from a closer, more tailored fit to a generously oversized look. Sleeves can be finished in two variations: tapered for a refined silhouette or wider for an effortlessly relaxed feel.

Note: This sweater is designed to be worn with approximately 6-10 in /15.5-25.5 cm of positive ease; however, this is just a guide. Some people prefer a closer fit; do not be afraid to select an option that provides somewhat less than the suggested ease according to your own preferences.
