A true statement piece, the OberLandForstMeister is a striking garment in-between a cardigan and a jacket. Worked in squishy mohair tweed, it holds its shape perfectly while providing a stylish and extravagant layer, that is intended to be worn open fronted for a casual look. It can of course be closed with a pin or a simple button (try to use a non-contrasting one in this case, to not interfere with all the other elements of this design). |

This top-down seamless Cardigan features striking epaulettes worked with an adapted set-in sleeves construction.
Texture is prevalent in the 3D-shaping of this boxy design: The Ivy motif of the backside slopes towards the moss-stitch fronts in a continuous, diagonal line that transforms into knotted cables flowing into the contrasting hem. Finally, an innovating sleeve-cap solution leaves a vent underneath the overlapping flap to avoid distortion of the epaulettes. And short-rows produce an oval hemline with a lower back that still keeps the front high enough for a flattering fit of this oversized shape. All techniques and methods are either explained in the pattern itself with attached photo tutorials, or links are provided that point to web-tutorials. |
