The festive Hiverbloom set (also available in an eBook with my Petals and Lace sweater) combines knits and purls within a stranded colorwork motif, drawing on the tradition of Bohus Stickning knitting from Sweden. In this design, blooms are represented in a geometric style and a maximum of two colors are worked per round. A Latvian braid and seeded rib provide additional visual interest and texture. A companion hat pattern is available here. Add both patterns to your cart for a 30% discount.
