Meet Suzanne:
Say hello to Rosée: An adorable little knit to wear as a t-shirt, cardigan or sweater. Rosée is knitted top down. It’s the easy-to-knit little summer sweater that we complete with a romantic floral embroidery to make your work even more unique.
Beginner level: Rosée is not complicated to knit but still contains several techniques to master to guarantee nice finishes, so it makes a perfect 2nd knitting project.
The techniques:
- Rosée’s body is knitted in stockinette stitch in the round
- German short rows allow the back neckline to be raised slightly
- Right lifted increases
- 1/1 ribs and 2/2 ribs
- Flat satin stitch embroidery
- French knot embroidery
