Mosspath by Jonna Helin

Craft: Knitting

This pattern is available on Ravelry.

Mosspath is worked seamlessly from the top down, featuring a contemporary European shoulder construction and a shallow V-neckline. The button band is finished with a neat double-knitting technique, giving the garment a clean, polished edge that holds its shape beautifully.

The starting point for this design was the yarn itself: the new Laine x Novita DK, developed in collaboration with West Yorkshire Spinners. Its beautiful drape, stitch definition and tactile feel allow the simplest stockinette stitch to shine without the need for extra embellishments. The colour is something special too: a soft blend of moss and olive green that captures everything to love about nature, from the quiet richness of a forest floor to the muted elegance of Mediterranean landscapes.
