This is a chunky oversized version of the original closely-fitted Parnassia pullover. Drawing inspiration from the delicate beauty of the Parnassia flower, this design is a harmonious blend of nature and elegance.
The intricate lace pattern reflects the flower’s graceful symmetry, with soft textures and gentle curves woven into every detail. The pattern mirrors the veins of the Parnassia petals, while a playful ruffle and voluminous baloon sleeves add a romantic touch to the design.
Knit seamlessly from the top down in the round, the design features a round yoke with a beautifully detailed, petal-like pattern. The boxy body offers a relaxed silhouette, complemented by balloon sleeves, which gather at the cuffs. Simple half-twisted ribbing on the hem balances the overall soft and romantic look. The length and puffiness of the sleeves can be easily modified.
You can take a closer look at my sample and discover the design process in episodes 41 and 42 of my podcast on YouTube.
