Isabelle

I so much enjoyed creating Murron I decided to make another sweater with a Japanese stitch. I am sure there will be more to come! This one is not as complex. It is a top down compound raglan worked entirely in the round; so you don’t have to worry about knitting lace on the wrong side. The compound raglan allows for a more flattering fit because the rate of increase varies to more accurately follow the shape of the body. I love the way the stitch pattern adds depth and interesting lines to the edges of the sweater, giving it a romantic air. I used Shibui Staccato, which is an absolutely wonderful yarn. It is soft, smooth; has wonderful stitch definition and beautiful sheen and colors. The perfect choice for this design! In keeping with the Braveheart theme I named it Isabelle after Princess Isabelle in Braveheart.

Shibui Staccato was used for the sample an alternative is suggested.
