Sleeping Beauty Sweater
The Sleeping Beauty Sweater by Elenor Mortensen is a beautifully customizable top-down sweater featuring a delicate floral colorwork motif. The charming flower design can be worked only across the yoke for a subtle accent or repeated throughout the entire sweater for a bold, eye-catching look. The floral motif can also be embroidered or knitted into the hem, allowing knitters to personalize the finished garment even further.
Designed with creativity in mind, this sweater is an excellent stash-busting project. It pairs a solid main color with gradient or leftover yarns, making it easy to create stunning color transitions while reducing yarn waste. Whether you use a commercial gradient yarn or build your own fade from leftover skeins, every version of the sweater becomes completely unique.
Worked seamlessly from the top down, the sweater offers a comfortable fit with positive ease and allows easy adjustments to body and sleeve length. Its versatile construction and customizable colorwork make it a rewarding project for knitters who enjoy adding their own creative touch to classic sweater designs.
