Midori Hirose Macramé Motif

The japanese handknitting designer Midori Hirose has designed this gorgeous sweater with a macramé motif on the yoke. The original design uses Biches & Bûches Le Gros Lambswool or Le Gros Silk & Mohair.

Thank you, Midori, for this beautiful design!

You will find the pattern on Midori’s Ravelry page.

Midori says: “I have experimented with a new stitch pattern which looks like a macramé motif. I like the combination of this lovely rustic lambswool yarn and my new macramé stitch pattern very much.
You can choose 2 different circumference for voluminous neck ribbing, smaller (white) or wider neckline (beige). The wider neckline has 10 cm /4 inches bigger circumference than the smaller one and goes just across the collarbone. It creates more a feminine look.
I have also knitted one more Macrame Motif Sweater with the Biches & Bûches Le Gros Silk & Mohair. The mohair sweater (dark beige) has a soft and elegant texture with a beautiful silk shimmer.
