Sacred Woods
The Sacred Woods side-split pullover is from my book Modern Crochet Sweaters: 20 Chic Designs for Everyday Wear. This book includes 20 #SizeInclusive sweater patterns using a variety of techniques and construction methods to ensure there is something of value for every skill level. Each pattern is written for sizes XS to 5XL and each size has been thoroughly tested! We had over 500+ crochet pattern testers for this book to make sure that each size fits its intended wearer in a way that makes them feel beautiful. You can buy this book with confidence, knowing that each pattern was written for you and your unique body measurements.
ABOUT
Meet Sacred Woods, a moody pullover sweater featuring vertical stitching, a relaxed fit and elegant side slits. Vertical rows are used to mimic tall, slender trees found in a forest, encouraging the sweater to lay gracefully on your body. There is no visible seam separating the sleeves from the body, creating a smooth, visually pleasing continuity in the fabric; maintaining the same sideways back-and-forth rows to create the look of one seamless piece of fabric from one wrist to the other wrist.
This sweater is worked in simple stitches with minimal shaping, meaning you’ll only need to refer to the pattern a couple times—perfect for distracted crocheting.
Long enough to wear with leggings, Sacred Woods is the ultimate grab-and-go piece. The dramatic side slits add dimension and movement while allowing more space in the hips for a great fit on both slim and curvy body types.
