This is For Jennie, With Love. Itβs feminine and elegant, yet unpretentious, just like the person that it was named for.
Jennie was more than my mother-in-law, she was my other mother for 40 years. I loved her deeply. She passed away two years ago, and Iβm still grappling with how strange the world is without her here.
For Jennie, With Love is a versatile sweater that is suitable for a variety of occasions. Its bracelet length sleeves make it a perfect choice for the office or a night on the town.
Worked seamlessly in the round from the bottom up, this drop shoulder sweater features a split hem, a faux seam stitch at each side, and a boat neck. German short rows are used to shape the shoulders and the front neck for a more refined fit. The front and back yokes are worked flat and joined at the shoulder seams with a modified 3-needle bind-off. Stitches are picked up around the armhole openings and the fitted sleeves are worked in stockinette stitch to the cuffs. The long cuff length adds extra elegance to the overall look.
The pattern includes 9 different sizes to fit a chest measurement ranging from 28 inches to 64 inches.
This sample is worked up in Smiling Sheepβs Smitten; a 4-ply fi*****ng weight yarn of 75% Superwash Merino and 25% Nylon. The colourway is Sweet Emotion.
Fun fact: When viewed from the right angle, the stitch pattern used for the body makes little hearts.
Happy Mother's Day, Jennie! β€οΈ
