​

A wearable, flattering and quick to knit sweater, the May(be)Queen will be a staple in your wardrobe.

Inspired by Art-Nouveau Artist Margaret Macdonald and her etherial figures, sinuous lines, organic compositions and attention to intricate details as a gentle interplay between geometric and natural motifs, this design tries to incorporate subtle and dainty details that naturally evolve out of the organic shape of this pullover.
​All while still allowing for a slightly oversized, comfortable fit.

The top-down seamless Pullover features a curved twisted ribbing from top to bottom, a flattering tulip shaped and slightly cropped body with romantic sleeves that have both an elegant asymmetric bell-shaped lower section and a delicate motif, to continue the main textural element of the jumper.
The side panels, with horizontal textured stripes, slope toward the centre in a continuous, diagonal line that flows into the split hem of this shaped garment. Short-rows added to the back create a hemline that is lower, but still keeps the front high enough for a flattering fit.

All techniques and methods are either explained in the pattern itself with attached photo tutorials, or links are provided that point to web-tutorials.
