Precious Memory [Knitting Pattern - PDF]

Designed for Rosy Green Wool's Cheeky Merino Joy Precious Memory sweater, a beautifully textured knit in reverse stocking stitch using Rosy Green Wool Cheeky Merino Joy. Elegant Vikkel braids and slip stitch details shape the yoke, while softly flared sleeves and delicate ribbing finish the look. A timeless design perfect for everyday wear, ideal in Melange shades like Pure and Hazelnut—or your own favourite colour combination.
