Electrine Sweater
Designed by kolibri by johanna

The sweater is worked in stockinette stitch top down in one piece. The bottom edge of the sweater and both sleeves are worked in a beautiful lace pattern and finished off with i-Cord- Edgings. First, the sweater is worked back and forth in rows to shape shoulder and neckline. When the front parts are joined to the round, the sweater is finished in the round. At first, the increases to shape the shoulder take place in every row. After that, only increases for the sleeves and the neckline are worked. Finally, the yoke of the sweater is finished with classic raglan increases. After separating the sleeves from the body, the body is finished without increases and worked for a few centimeters in stockinette stitch in the round. Finally, you work the beautiful, romantic lace pattern, finished with an i-cord- bind-off at the bottom hem of the sweater. Then, the sleeves are worked in stockinette stitch in the round with a bunch of increases for a wide sleeve shape, emphasizing the romantic Boho look. Finally, the lace pattern is worked at the sleeves and they are bound off with an i-Cord-Edging as well. The length of the sweater is relatively short, emphasizing the romantic lace pattern – the highlight of the design. The sleeves are fitted around the upper arm, but they get wider because of the increases shortly before the sleeves are worked in the same lace pattern like the body, creating a romantic Boho look. The i-Cord-Edgings are the perfect addition to the most feminine sweater design Johanna has designed in a while!
