Mosaic Sweater

Detail
Mosaic Sweater features a graphic allover two-colored Fair Isle pattern and ribbed edges. It is worked from the bottom up in the round to the underarms. Work is then divided, and front and back are worked back and forth up to the shoulders. Sleeve stitches are then picked up, and sleeves worked in the round from the top down. Finally, stitches for the folded neckband are picked up and the neckband finished in rib. As an alternative to working the yoke back and forth, the entire sweater can be worked in the round and then steeked (cut). You will find alternative instructions in the pattern for how to work the sweater in the round with additional steek stitches. There are, however, no actual instructions on how to reinforce the steek, cut or finish the steek edges afterwards, and you are advised to use your own preferred methods for this. If you are new to steeking, this is not a good first-time pattern for learning, and we recommend that you work the yoke back and forth instead if this is the case.

Wore it to my nephew’s graduation — stayed comfortable through 90-degree heat thanks to the breathable open-knit mosaic texture and the rich heather gray made me look polished without trying the delivery guy even rang twice because he didn’t want to leave it in the sun — service that feels human

Slipped it on before my first postpartum walk and felt instantly held and comforted the stretchy mosaic knit moved with me not against me and the drape hid my bump while still feeling intentional the package came with a seed paper thank-you card that bloomed into wildflowers — pure joy
