Room to Bloom Sweater (ENG)
The Room To Bloom Sweater is worked top down with one strand of merino and one strand of silk mohair held together. It has a contemporary fit with a dropped shoulder and side splits. The embroidered flowers are worked at the end to give this modern sweater a romantic twist. This is your chance to express your own artistic vision and let your imagination bloom. Choose to follow the pattern here as is, or only embroider a few flowers to keep it more minimal. Or, go all in and cover the whole sweater with flowers!
