To see nature awaken after winter, to see the leaves begin to grow on the trees and to see the flowers appear and blossom bring me joy, and I imagined this sweater with leaves that grow on the bottom of the sleeves.

This sweater is worked from the top down, seamless, with a round neckline and dropped sleeves. The construction starts at the shoulders, with some short rows. The back and the fronts are worked separately back and forth up to the armholes, and then everything is joined to work the body in the round. The sleeves are picked up around the armholes and also worked in the round with stranded colorwork.

Voir la nature se réveiller après l’hiver, voir les feuilles commencer à pousser sur les arbres et voir les fleurs apparaître et s’épanouir, tout cela m’a inspiré ce pull avec des feuilles qui poussent sur le bas des manches.

Ce modèle est tricoté du haut vers le bas et sans couture. Vous commencerez aux épaules, avec des rangs raccourcis. Le dos et le devant sont tricotés séparément à plat jusqu’aux emmanchure. Ils seront ensuite rassemblés pour être tricotés en rond à partir du dessous des bras.
Les mailles des manches seront relevées pour les tricoter en rond jusqu’aux poignets, avec les feuilles en jacquard.
