Description

Yarn package for the Holly Sweater from Knitting for Olive.

The Holly Sweater is a modern interpretation of winter sweater with a beautiful yoke motif made of twigs, leaves and berries!

The sweater is knitted top down and has a round yoke. The leaves and berries of the wreath are knitted using the Fair Isle method according to the diagram, which gives the sweater a charming and detailed look.

For a comfortable fit and an attractive design, short rows (German Short Rows) are used at the neckline and under the armholes.

The sweater is elegantly rounded off by ribbed cuffs, which ensures both a nice finish and a good fit.

The Holly Sweater is therefore a wonderful choice to enjoy the festive Christmas spirit in a modern and stylish look.
