[How to knit] Women’s sweater with stocking stitch and subtle pattern

Stocking stitch is used as the base so that the light colored mottled dyeing stands out beautifully, and the subtle patterned knitting on the hem adds a feminine elegance.

We named this sweater, which looks like young spring grass or autumn wild grass, “Seasonal Scented Sweater”.

Features of “Seasonal Scented Sweater”

Using the yarn with a beautiful pale grass color (Eisaku Noro’s “Shiki”), and stocking stitch is applied to the entire surface of the sweater to bring out the expression of this yarn.
By adding a little pattern to the hem, it adds a feminine elegance.
The collar has a folded collar to give more space to show off the beauty of the yarn.
The shoulders are not casual like raglan sleeves, but have an elegant look, and are lightly dropped to create a gentle roundness.

First of all, we will show you photos of the completed “Seasonal Scented Sweater”, and then we will explain in detail how to knit it along with the knitting drawings.
