Lilleke sweater knitting pattern (English)
The Lilleke sweater is inspired by the gorgeous Lilleke sock pattern. Aleks created these socks last year with the idea of combining floral and tartan plaid patterns using Roosimine Estonian inlay knitting. She fell so in love with the stitch pattern created for the socks that it needed to be put on a sweater!
This yoke sweater is worked seamlessly in the round from the top down featuring a repeating Roosimine inlay pattern around the yoke.
