Last year I was given the opportunity to work with the German yarn company Rosy Green Wool. I worked on a design using colour blocking and this is the garment I came up with. Today, Deleite has been released on Rosy Green Wool’s website. Deleite means delight in Portuguese! The shape is slightly oversized with positive ease across the bust. The jumper is worked from the top down, allowing you to make adjustments as you go. The rib at the neck is folded double, giving a polished finish. There is a small amount of short row shaping at the neck giving a dip towards the front. There is also short row shaping at the hem creating a dip towards the back of the garment.
The three colours in the sample garment comes from the new Mood colour palette in the Cheeky Merino Joy range. The three colours are called Cream, Tea and Powder and are a lovely combination. I am planning another sample for a later photoshoot and I can’t wait to show you the colours I have chosen!
I really love the photos the Rosy Green Wool team have taken of my garment. I hope you find it inspiring and want to try the knitting pattern for yourself.
