Foliole

Foliole

Foliole was deeply satisfying both to design and to knit. The combination of the yarn, the colours, and the simple ivy leaf repeat create a sort of enchantment as you add one garland to the next. It is beguiling in ways I didn’t quite expect – the finished sweater is one of the most beautiful things I have ever knitted. The classic Ziggurat construction with slight waist shaping is finished with a hipfriendly double-knit split hem and an akin cuff – double-knitting as per usual optional.

Foliole is a relaxed classic Ziggurat with beautiful allover trailing vines.
Fine details to make a knitterly heart happy:
A double-knitted split lined hem gives your hips free play and makes sure your sweater doesn’t rest on your bum.
The cuffs, too, are double knitted.
