After knitting all the pieces to a sweater, I feel like a rock star… don’t you? The only problem is I always forget how long it takes to seam and finish a sweater. I can get too excited and want to rush it, but really, the finishing is just as important as the knitting. It takes care, time and patience. To do it correctly, wash and block your pieces. Lay them out and carefully seam the sleeves to the body of the sweater. For this week’s free pattern, Passiflora, the instructions require you to pick up stitches along the neckline to knit a clean edge. Follow along with the how-to videos above to assemble Passiflora.
Perfect for a breezy spring or summer day, Passiflora is a lightweight sweater with lace panels along the sleeves and body.
