Plantae

Plantae is a pullover featuring the beauty of twisted stitches and crochet bobbles.
The bottom and sides feature a thick band of ribbing. The center front and back pieces feature the
showcase twisted stitches and diamond clusters of crochet bobbles. The slightly cropped, youthful fit make Plantae perfect for wearing with high waisted pants or layering over a dress. Knit up in Brooklyn Tweed’s new Imbue yarn, a round worsted weight tweedy wool yarn perfect for showing off stitch definition. The clusters of bobbles and beautiful rich green tone of the yarn reminded me of my ever-growing plant
collection so Plantae seemed like the perfect-fitting name for this design!
