(noun) an arrangement or cluster of flowers on its stem

This sweater brings to life a scene we all envision for chilly Winter nights: wrapped up in an oversized sweater, we sip cocoa by a fire in our knit socks, surrounded by blankets with a cat sleeping next to our bag of yarn. Its simple cables add interesting texture mimicking a floral arrangement, while its oversized fit and thick fabric give the ultimate cozy vibe, helping bring to life our own version of this Winter haven as we dream of a flowering Spring.

This sweater is knit top-down, working German short rows to gently swoop the front neckline downward. Raglan yoke increases are worked before separating the sleeve stitches, and the body is finished in a split hem. This is meant to be worn as an oversized sweater, with several inches of positive ease, a deep yoke, and loose-fitting sleeves.
