The Florence Sweater
The Florence Sweater by Elenor Mortensen is an elegant top-down colorwork sweater featuring a breathtaking floral yoke inspired by botanical motifs. A smaller coordinating pattern continues onto the body, creating a beautifully balanced design that feels both timeless and modern.
The sweater begins at the neckline with German short rows for an improved fit before the decorative colorwork yoke unfolds. Once the yoke is complete, the sweater is worked seamlessly in the round, resulting in a polished garment with minimal finishing. The combination of a bold floral yoke and subtle body detailing makes this sweater an enjoyable project for knitters who appreciate sophisticated stranded knitting.
Designed with fingering-weight yarn, The Florence Sweater creates a lightweight fabric that’s comfortable to wear throughout multiple seasons. With an inclusive size range extending to a 180 cm finished bust, it offers excellent versatility while allowing knitters to choose the amount of positive ease that best suits their style.
