This pattern is for a vintage style cropped sweater, knitted in DK weight Merino wool. The ribbing sits right on the waist without any further waist shaping.
The lace pattern represents small hyacinths, hence the name. It is easy to memorize and makes for a enjoyable knitting experience.
The sweater with it’s retro styling makes it a perfect match to one of those pretty fourties or fifties skirts.

The hyacinth stitch pattern is charted for ease of knitting.

The sweater is knit in pieces from the buttom up and seamed.
