Knitting For Olive | Fern Sweater Pattern & Yarn Pack
The Fern Sweater is the perfect everyday knit for chilly days, combining lightweight warmth with a refined, airy design. Inspired by classic turtleneck sweaters, it features a folded collar and deep ribbed edges, while a delicate vertical eyelet Fern stitch adds elegance without bulk.
Worked seamlessly from the top down in the round with two strands held together—Merino or Cotton Merino paired with Soft Silk Mohair—the Fern Sweater offers soft warmth and a beautiful drape. Short-row shaping lowers the front neckline for a flattering fit, and the Fern lace pattern is written out for easy memorisation.
Designed to be size inclusive, the Fern Sweater is a cozy, stylish staple that brings sophistication and comfort to your winter wardrobe.
Our Fern Sweater Pattern & Yarn Pack includes 4 x Merino, 4 x Soft Silk Mohair, and a digital pattern. This bundle is suitable for an XS size sweater. You may purchase more yarn separately if you are following a bigger pattern size. Please refer to the chart below.
