As we look ahead to 2025, there's no better way to welcome the year than with the Snow Crocus Sweater—a design that captures both the delicate beauty of nature and the art of knitting. Created by Midori Hirose, this sweater draws inspiration from the snow crocus, a small flower that blooms on Greek mountains just as the snow begins to melt. Midori crafted this pattern in February, the very time when the crocus flowers make their graceful appearance, and it shows in every intricate stitch.
What Makes the Snow Crocus Sweater Special:
This seamless, top-down pullover features nature-inspired cable patterns on the yoke, reminiscent of the crocus flowers themselves. With sizes ranging from 2XS to 6XL and a suggested 4-6¾ inches of positive ease, this sweater is designed for an easy, comfortable fit that looks chic on any body type. Whether you're after a sleek silhouette or a more relaxed, oversized feel, the Snow Crocus has got you covered.
Yarn & Knitting Pleasure:
Crafted in worsted-weight wool, the pattern calls for 700 to 1410 yards of yarn, depending on the size you're making. Picture soft, natural wool in your favorite color, each skein working its magic as you bring this beautiful sweater to life. The pattern’s textured cables and sophisticated details are perfect for intermediate knitters eager to create something timeless.
Tools for the Journey:
You'll use US 10 needles for the main body and sleeves, and US 8 needles for the finer details like the neck, hem, and cuffs. These subtle finishing touches bring out the elegance in the design, and the yarn ensures you'll stay warm and stylish all season long.
A Sweater for All Seasons:
Whether you’re planning your first sweater for 2025 or adding to your handknit collection, the Snow Crocus Sweater is an ideal choice for knitters who appreciate both beauty and craftsmanship. Celebrate the new year with a piece that’s as elegant and timeless as the flower it’s named after!
