I recently finished Spring Square designed by Hinterm Stein. (If you haven’t checked out her wide range of designs on Ravelry, you should.)
My photos are terrible most of the fun in this sweater is in the details along the shoulder. In other words, arms required for decent photographs. My mannequin just doesn’t cut it and it’s so hard to take photos of oneself in a sweater! The floral motif at the back neck gives the sweater its name.
This design uses a really interesting top down construction and way of moving from shoulder to shoulder that was fun to do. It’s a well thought out pattern; I like the fit enough that I might use the pattern as a template for something else.
It has a sort of modified dolman fit and then tapers to the waist/hips. I lengthened my Spring Square and made it less tapered. Other than that, I followed the pattern very closely.
The yarn I used is Carol Sunday’s 3-ply Eden in the Cielo color way. The contrast color is the same yarn in Mist (left over from the brioche scarf I knit last year). It is wonderful yarn to knit with and feels great against my skin.
Someone turned one year old a few days ago. Hard to believe the transformation!
