Pamplemousse

$8.00

Pamplemousse is designed as a somewhat cropped, loose pullover, with a generous cowl. I wanted to take advantage of the wonderful squish in this yarn, so lots of slipped stitches add depth and create a wonderfully satisfying fabric. Delicate, assymetrical cables are featured on front and back, and the whole thing reads as textured and cozy. A few fun details are worked in there as well - a subtle curve to the sweater body, visible seams and edge detail, and some cool lines in the sleeve shaping.

The sweater is knit flat in pieces and seamed, and then both sleeves and cowl are picked up and knit to end in the round. Short rows are used to shape shoulders and hem.
