Hello! We have less than one week left until we officially leave Florida. Things are, of course, a bit nutso here, but very exciting, too. I finished this sweater a few weeks ago and am loving how soft and cozy it is.
The pattern is Estonia by Vera Sanon. It is a basic top-down raglan (no more of those for me in cardigan form, but a pullover is ok) in stockinette stitch. The interesting detail is the Estonian Braid at the neckline. The pattern also uses this stitch for the cuffs and hem, but I used simple 1x1 rib for those areas.
The fit of this is great - form-fitting but not tight. The sample is shown in a semi-solid tonal yarn, so that is what I used, although it does look more variegated than I expected. My yarn is Ewe2Yarn 100% merino in a colorway called "Iceberg."
Here is a better look at the Estonian Braid neckline. It was less fiddly to knit than I expected.
Really beautiful and fits you perfectly! I'm off to check out this pattern on Ravelry, thanks for the review!
ReplyDeletePerfect fit and TDF yarn! It's really pretty too.
