Description

Hiemalis is just the perfect colorwork sweater that can fit any wardrobe.

We started this collaboration with Weichien - ThePetiteKnitter - a few years ago, sending her our very first shades of  A Pure and simple Wool and thrilling at the idea of one of her dreamy yokes. Now we are over the moon that this idea ended up on Laine Magazine! 

The sweater is knitted top down and in the round. A seamless colourwork round yoke follows, and the sleeves are tapered, knitted top down and in the round as well. There are two options for body length: cropped and regular. You can easily customise the length by stopping or continuing after the recommended body length measurements. There are also two sleeve length options, bracelet length and full length, so you can customise the jumper to fit you best. There are optional chest short rows for a looser fit around the chest area.

The pattern is part of the latest issue: Laine Magazine n.15, awesome collection! And it's available in our shop, you may find it HERE.

Our sample features the new shades we developed, that are:

MC: MORFEO

CC1:  ORIONE

CC2: AQUARIUS

CC3: STARMAN

Please note that we used 3,75mm needles to knit it.
