Catechu is a lightweight sweater with a floral lace hem and delicate twisted ribbing details. It is knitted from the bottom up in the round in an A-line shape until the armholes where front and back are separated to be worked flat. The neckline is shaped with short-rows and the shoulders are joined with a three-needle bind-off for stability. The sleeves are then picked up and worked in the round with decreases to make them a close but not too tight fit.
For a flowy look the sweater is intended to be worn with a lot of positive ease but it remains adjustable to any fit preferences. The A-line shaping and the rounded neckline create a versatile garment that can easily be thrown on dresses and jeans alike.
The lace motif and the twisted ribbing are engaging with geometric features that make them intuitive and satisfying to work. The pattern features a chart and written instructions as well as a video tutorial for the special ribbed twist.
