DIY Kit - Florist Sweater - Dream (Merino Worsted)
DIY Kit - Florist Sweater
The body of this sweater is worked in two pieces: the front panel and back panel. Each panel is knit flat from the bottom-up. Stitches for the sleeves are picked up from the body and worked in the round from the shoulder to the cuff.
Both body panels and sleeves feature stranded colorwork throughout.
Dream is our new name for Merino Worsted yarn. Though the name is different and we have a new palette of color offerings, nothing else about Dream has changed: it is the same yarn you know and love!
