Fresh Off Our Needles: French Macaroon!
The French Macaroon sweater (pattern free on Ravelry) is knit in simple garter stitch. The sweater has a boatneck neckline, with a one-button closure in the back to allow for easy dressing. Each side is knit in one piece, and a three needle bind off is used to secure the shoulders to each other. Two little seams on each side finish up the sweaters. This sweater knits up in no time and - like the delicious sweets it's named after - you might not be able to stop at just one...we sure couldn't!
We knit TWO samples using a brand new hand-dyed, DK weight pima cotton from Memphis dyer Kathleen of LeRoo Cotton.
- The sample in the top photo is knit in Falfetti paired with a solid from Summerlite DK in Plaster.
- The sample in the second photo is knit in Crayon Box paired with a solid from Summerlite DK in White.
