Meadowlight Sweater
Meadowlight Sweater is a cozy, slightly oversized pullover worked top-down in the round. It features raglan shaping, a neatly finished folded neckline, and flowing transitions into the body and sleeves. The sweater’s defining feature is its textured twisted rib pattern, which brings gentle rhythm and focus to the knitting process.
The neckline is shaped with short rows for a comfortable fit, and the body and sleeves are finished with ribbed hems and cuffs, maintaining a clean and elastic edge. Designed with positive ease and soothing repetition, this project invites a calm, meditative pace—ideal for mindful making and stress-relieving knitting sessions.
