Flowering is a chest warmer piece.
I’ve used the Mosaic knitting technique to create a front side of the piece, which is a double-layered fabric to keep you extra warm and cozy.
The back side of the chest warmer is thinner and has a relief pattern.
The turtle neck is in two-by-two ribbing.
The choice of yarn, unspun Nutiden, and Shetland Heritage makes the fabric lightweight, airy, and warm.
It is incredible to knit with spun and unspun yarn.
On the background of Shetland Heritage yarn, which creates a soft feel, and a smooth finish, we are painting with unspun Nutidenyarn, which brings to the flower motive haziness and mistiness. Both yarns blend nicely together, creating a delicate eye-catching, sophisticated, intricate-looking pattern with a smooth, soft, velvety texture.

The front and back sides of the garment are knitted in pieces and joined together using the three-needle bind-off technique. The neck is knitted in the round using a two-by-two ribbing pattern.
Front neck and back shoulder and neck shaping instructions are charted with the added explanation of how to read the chart.
