Fern Sweater pattern in French and English - Knitting for Olive

The Fern sweater is perfect for facing winter.

It has all the advantages of a garment for cold weather: a turtleneck, long ribbing, but without the heaviness and silhouette of large sweaters. The mohair and silk thread, so soft, brings warmth. By combining these 2 threads with a vertical openwork pattern, we obtain an airy and light cut.

This sweater is knitted in the round with 2 threads together and seamless. It is started from the top down with shortened rows to create the neckline. The “fern” pattern is written and easy to remember.

This sweater is inclusive in size.

The pattern is in French version and in English version (one after the other on the document)
