Écume Sweater

Job type Test knit
Description

LE PATRON EST AUSSI DISPONIBLE EN FRANÇAIS

(EN) Écume sweater has a drop shoulder construction, with the body and sleeves knitted from the bottom up. The sleeves are knit separately and attached to the body with seams. The emphasis is on the hips thanks to the folded hem at the bottom of the sweater, but not at the cuffs and neck. Écume sweater is adorned with a pretty, textured pattern that reminds me of the foam found at the bottom of waterfalls, you can find this texture at the bottom left of the sweater and at the bottom of the right sleeve. This texture is made with crochet embellishments, garter ridges, knitted bobbles and lace. The Sauvage and Wicca yarns paired together help give a fuzzy, foamy look to your sweater. Depending on your body shape, you can knit a short and straight version, a long and straight version, or a long version with A-line waist shaping.

I can be flexible with the deadline if you keep me updated during the test.

(FR) Le pull Écume a une construction à épaules tombantes, avec le corps et les manches tricotés de bas en haut. Les manches sont tricotées séparément et attachées au corps avec des coutures. L’accent est mis sur les hanches grâce à l’ourlet replié en bas du pull, mais pas au niveau des poignets et du col. Le pull Écume est orné d’un joli motif texturé qui me rappelle la mousse que l’on trouve au fond des cascades, on retrouve cette texture en bas à gauche du pull et en bas de la manche droite. Cette texture est faite avec des embellissements au crochet, des rangs de mailles envers, des noppes et de la dentelle. Les fils Sauvage et Wicca associés contribuent à donner un aspect flou et mousseux à votre pull. Selon votre morphologie, vous pouvez tricoter une version courte et droite, une version longue et droite ou une version longue avec une coupe trapèze.

Je peux être flexible avec le délai si vous me tenez au courant pendant le test.
