We're truly huge fans of Anne Ventzel, and reasoned a lot on choosing another pattern of hers to knit, until Spot sweater was released and lots of different versions came out on Instagram, so inspiring and beautiful!
SPOT SWEATER is a gorgeously soft sweater with a simple stranded pattern, twisted rib details and a folded rig edge at the neck. The sweater is worked from the top down. The first part of the yoke is worked back and forth to shape the neckline, then the work is joined in the round and the rest of the sweater is worked in the round.
So we thought that A Chic Blend would do so good with its proper halo and the fluffiness that suits so well to a colowork design. It was quite hard to narrow down to a color combination, but in the end we did.
