Toscana Sweater
We are delighted to present Toscana Jumper designed by Astrid at the Atelier with our lovely cotton yarn Le Petit Organic Cotton.
Toscana is a an amazing design for the warmer days. Knitted in Le Petit Organic Cotton in Off White, the flowing lace motif on the front is stunning, catching every bit of light and making this a knitting project that feels like a great accomplishment. More achievable than it looks: the pattern is worked on right side rows only, with simple purl rows on the wrong side, letting the stitch do all the talking. Our little Mermaid Jumper.
Construction
The Toscana Jumper is worked flat, back and forth, from the bottom up in four pieces that are joined using a three-needle bind-off. The sleeves are three-quarter length, and the neckline features a beautiful boat neck.
