The Snowdrop Sweater is inspired by the magical transition from winter to spring.
I invite you to immerse yourself in the beauty of this design as you create it from the top down, working in the round. You’ll find a delightful circle adorned with bobbles (Estonian nupps) on the yoke.
Choose to make them in another color to add a touch of whimsy to this enchanting garment. The body of the sweater features a relaxed and comfortable fit with fitted or flowy sleeves, perfect for embracing that cozy yet airy feeling of the changing seasons.
Whether you knit it in DK or Light Worsted yarn, this pattern allows you to create the Snowdrop Sweater that suits your style.
Embrace the magic of the Snowdrop Sweater pattern as you transition between the seasons with style and grace.
The sweater is constructed from the top down, with a yoke featuring a fun bobble motif using Estonian nupps (charts and written instructions included). You can knit the nupps in a contrasting color and choose where to put the motif: near the neck, as a necklace, or lower, on the shoulders. There are directions for three necks (scoop, crew, and turtleneck), two sleeves (bishop/fitted), and two lengths (cropped/full). Short rows are worked back and forth to raise the back
neckline for a better fit.
