🌸 Esther – Knitting Sweater Pattern

Esther by Camilla Vad is a timeless short-sleeve sweater featuring a graceful four-color Fair Isle yoke and a relaxed, feminine silhouette. Designed to be worked seamlessly from the top down, this elegant pullover blends Scandinavian-inspired colorwork with modern simplicity, making it a versatile garment for every season.

The sweater begins at the neckline and is knitted in one continuous piece using top-down construction. German short rows gently shape the neckline for improved comfort and fit before the beautiful circular yoke introduces the striking stranded colorwork motif. The body and sleeves continue seamlessly, creating a polished finish with minimal finishing required.

Knitted in soft sport-weight lambswool, Esther offers lightweight warmth that makes it ideal for layering during spring, autumn, or cool summer evenings. Its clean design, comfortable fit, and classic colorwork ensure it will remain a wardrobe favorite for years to come.
