Anemone Sweater
-
Detail
Anemone Sweater features an allover Fair Isle flower pattern and ribbed edges. The sweater is knit using 1 strand of Merino and 1 strand of Soft Silk Mohair held together throughout, and it is a perfect project for playing with different color combinations and for using up some of your smaller amounts of leftover yarn.
Anemone Sweater 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.Sizes: XXS (XS, S, M, L, XL, 2XL, 3-4XL)

As someone who avoids sweaters like they’re tax forms this one changed my life No shrinkage no fading no weird stretching at the elbows Just pure calm comfort and a cut that makes me stand taller The packaging was recyclable *and* pretty enough to reuse as gift wrap And the tracking updated like it had opinions
Myr*******gand
Wore it to my nephew’s birthday party and ended up being the unofficial photo booth prop because everyone wanted to try it on The yarn has this subtle halo effect in sunlight and it somehow looks expensive even with my $5 jeans Shipping was so fast I thought I’d ordered it twice Then I opened the box and found a tiny dried anemone petal tucked inside—yes I cried a little
Miss*********arks
This sweater got me through three back-to-back virtual interviews without once adjusting my collar or tugging at sleeves The weight is *perfect*—not too heavy not too flimsy and the cuffs stay put even when I’m typing frantically Shipped same day and arrived smelling faintly of lavender like a wellness retreat for clothing
Joa*******ocko
So soft I caught myself stroking my own arm during a boring meeting The color is richer in person than online and it layers beautifully over collared shirts But fair warning—the charcoal shade shows lint like it’s auditioning for a detective role Still worth every penny though and customer service sent lint rollers *with* my refund note
Ms. *********ice I
Finally—a sweater that doesn’t make me look like I borrowed it from a lumberjack The Anemone fits *me* not a silhouette My shoulders aren’t swallowed my waist isn’t lost and the neckline sits just right for Zoom calls or spontaneous coffee dates Arrived folded like origami with zero creases
Dor******er
Wore it to my first post-pandemic book club and everyone asked where I got it The fabric feels like being wrapped in quiet confidence no static cling no itch no regrets And when my order shipped late due to weather? They sent a surprise discount on my next purchase—now I’m emotionally invested
Adri*********ston
Love the texture and fit—snug but not tight and the ribbing doesn’t dig in Took it hiking last weekend and stayed warm without sweating through it Only reason it’s not 5 stars? The tag rubbed a tiny bit at first but vanished after one wash Shipped fast and packed like fine china
Ms. ********ill
This sweater solved my ‘I’m cold indoors but overheating outdoors’ chaos It breathes like a dream layers perfectly over tees or under blazers and the color? That dusty rose isn’t basic—it’s *vibing* with my personality Customer service answered my sizing question in 12 minutes flat
Mrs.*********and I
Needed something cozy but not sloppy for my remote client pitch—and this sweater delivered Zero pilling after two washes the drape is *chef’s kiss* and the sleeves hit *exactly* at my wrist like I custom-ordered them Package came with bubble wrap so pristine I almost felt guilty opening it
Mar******ami
Wore the Anemone Sweater to my sister’s backyard wedding and got *three* compliments before the vows started The knit is buttery soft against my skin and held its shape all day even during impromptu dancing in the grass Shipping arrived 2 days early and the box had a little handwritten note—felt like getting a hug from my favorite aunt
