This soft, aran-weight sweater features an interesting pattern of leaves and rope cables.
“The long lines of twisted stitches on my crewneck sweater design were inspired by delicate birch tree leaves,” says Emma Vining.
“Leaf shapes are embedded within long rope lines, beginning with smaller leaves on the lower body and progressing to larger ones on the upper body. The sleeves have a small birch leaf at the ribbed cuff.”
Emma has knitted her design in Cascade’s ever-popular 220 yarn, which comes in a huge choice of colours.
