“Peasant Surprise” is worked seamlessly in one piece in the round from the top down. This sweater, featuring a yoke in combination of a Japanese lace pattern with a few texture patterns, surprises by its unusual shape, reminding of a peasant blouse, hence the name!

The pattern includes several versions of the sweater: with cropped or longer body; regular, short, 3/4 length, and balloon sleeves; regular neckband, and i-cord neckline finishing. If the bulk of the pictured balloon sleeves (inspired by a sweater knit by one of my friends and testers, Beata) is too much for you, you can omit them and work a tamer version. As for me, I love them! They are roomy enough for complete freedom of movement, yet short enough not to be in the way when doing chores, or washing your hands.


“Peasant Surprise” was created in collaboration with Dye Dye Done. If you would like to try the yarn used for the sample, you can find it here and here.
