Dragonfly Sweater

Description

fOTOS © Elenor Mortensen

The Dragonfly Sweater is a top-down knitted sweater with a large dragonfly pattern, framed by smaller flowers and bugs.
The smaller patterns can be arranged as desired and mirrored horizonzally.
This results in many design possibilities for your very own sweater!

After the provisional attack, some German Short Rows are first worked to lift the neck part.
After the dragonfly pattern, further short rows are knitted before the width in each second size is adjusted by means of raglan increases.
After cutting off the sleeves, smaller flowers or bug patterns can be knitted in.
