Description
Florescence is a captivating knitting pattern that offers two stylish options: a sweater with long sleeves or a t-shirt with short sleeves. The standout feature of Florescence is its delicate lace sleeves, reminiscent of spring leaves unfolding. The body of the garment is knit in stockinette stitch, with a slightly cropped length that can be adjusted to preference. This pattern is available in 12 sizes, ranging from 34” to 58.5” at bust, and should be worn with some positive ease for a comfortable fit and flattering drape. Florescence can be crafted with fingering weight yarn and a fluffy lace strand (cashmere or mohair), or with a single strand of DK weight yarn. With its top-down raglan construction, Florescence combines elegance with ease, making it a must-have addition to any knitter’s spring and summer closet.
