Éleuthère is a sleeveless sweater knitted from the bottom up with slits on either side. It is knitted in the round using the steek technique, with a jacquard pattern that is very easy to make and memorize.
This pattern also allows for the use of leftover wool, and leaves a certain freedom of interpretation, with a wide choice of colors (two-tone, gradient of the same tone, multicolored...).
Wearable in all seasons, it's easy to slip over a sweater or shirt, so it'll be with you all year round!
The techniques used to make this model are explained in a video tutorial to guide you if necessary.
It is knitted with DK or fingering wools held in double.
A full jacquard pattern requires 6/6/8/9g of the contrasting color.
