Knitting Pattern: Elegance Sweater (by Sisko Sälpäkivi)

Large floral patterns are added to the sweater by using the intarsia technique. The stem of the flower is embroidered afterwards.

The pattern for the Elegance sweater was previously published in Beloved Patterns & Birger Kaipiainen knitting magazine, where the inspiration came from Birger Kaipiainen’s iconic ceramic designs.
