Slow Bloom

A lightweight sweater made from a soft, durable, easy-care yarn is a must in my wardrobe. Combined with one of my favorite easy-going, universally flattering silhouettes, it’s become a piece I reach for again and again, especially as summer heat finally begins to fade.

Slow Bloom is knit seamlessly from top to bottom, making it easy to try on as you go. The back shoulders are knit first, worked back and forth to the underarms and placed on hold. Stitches are then picked up for each front shoulder and worked to the underarms where front and back are joined and knit in the round to the hem. Cuffs are picked up directly from the body and worked in the round.
