Step up your skills by adding embroidery techniques to your knitting. This oversized, cozy floral sweater combines the elegance of a saddle shoulder design with the accent of scattered flowers along the sleeves. Experiment with different yarn fibers, weights and colors to create unique textures and contrasts in your flower designs.
