Oaxacan Rose

Introducing the Oaxacan Rose sweater – the perfect knit that inspired me to break free from my knitting rut this winter! With its striking design and deep texture, this pullover is crafted from the luxurious Malabrigo Twist yarn, which I stumbled upon online and instantly fell in love with. The result is a loose and comfy, wear-everywhere sweater that beautifully showcases the subtle color shifts inherent in the yarn.

The Oaxacan Rose features simple lines and a straightforward construction, making it an approachable project for knitters at any skill level. Just a few thoughtful details enhance the design and keep the knitting experience engaging while adding a touch of elegance. This sweater was exactly what I needed to rediscover my love for knitting, and now that it’s complete, it's quickly become one of my go-to garments that I never want to take off!

For those looking to modify the pattern for depth or width, you'll be pleased to know that the adjustments are straightforward. The pattern includes clear notes on how and where to make these modifications. The sample is shown without waist shaping, but rest assured, there are also detailed instructions for adding that, allowing you to customize the fit to your liking.

When selecting your size, be sure to base your choice on the circumference around the bust of the final, blocked garment. I recommend opting for a size that allows for about 4 inches (or 10 centimeters) of positive ease for a comfortable and stylish fit, as demonstrated in the sample.
