Let's kick off this new year with a new sweater. May this year be infinitely better than the one before.
In the fall, I decided to try out an idea I had been toying with for a while and let you all take part in the design process. I organised a Design-A-long in my IG stories and offered you different shapes and sweater styles, different stitch patterns and option on how to use them. Everyone go to vote for their favorite and I wowed to obey the results.
Our joined efforts resulted in this simple, boxy sweater with delicate lace along the neckline. Finally, everyone got to suggest a name for the design and we ended up with Koru which is Finnish for jewelry or necklace - quite fitting as you won't need a necklace wearing this sweater.
The sweater has long sleeves, a slightly cropped hem and a slit. I fell so hard for the lace that I wanted to use it on top of the sleeves as well.
As a thank you to everyone, the test knit for Koru was open for anyone and everyone willing, and now is the time to release the finished pattern. As always, it comes with sizes XXS-5XL, going up to 72.25'' / 181 cm bust. The recommended ease is approx. 8'' / 20 cm.
To celebrate New Year, you can get the pattern for 15% discount using the code NY2021 all the way to January 8th. The code is valid on Ravelry and PayHip. You can also find the pattern on Lovecrafts.
We took these photos back in autumn on the day I finally chopped my hair after growing it for the past 12 years. I was about time! I love how the lightness and happiness shines through.
