Iris' Sparkly Purple Sweater



This sweater was knit from Plymouth Fantasy Naturale with a strand of Paris Nights for the sparkle. It's a knit-from-the-top-down sweater with a scoop neck and bust darts and three-quarter sleeves. The sleeves and bottom are finished with seed stitch and the top is finished with a crocheted shell.

The knitting of this sweater went very fast. You can't see in the picture, but it has a gently curved hem to flatter Iris' ample figure.

With the greens and the blues in the Paris Nights, this sweater goes with almost everything Iris owns. She wears it constantly: with skirts, over dresses, over leggings.

Iris didn't let me try this on her often during the knitting. The shoulders bag a bit, but other than that it fits her quite well.
