Camellia Sweater was my advent knitting project in December 2022 and I’m happy to see how it turned out to be one of my most classic designs. I loved to see these cables and textures forming on my needles. Day after day, at least a few stitches every single day in December - and then quite a few more days after the month was finished. It was all worth it!
Camellia Sweater is worked from bottom up, first one for me in many years knitted from this direction, and it’s such a classic way of knitting up a sweater. I sincerely hope you enjoy this pattern as much as I did.
