Level of difficulty: medium

Knit yourself a little dolce vita with Dieci and enjoy its understated sophistication. This oversized sweater by designer Irina Anikeeva for our Cheeky Merino Joy features clear, modern lines. Subtle textured stripes on the sleeves, body and shoulders, a seamless construction and lovely details even at the hem make Dieci a very special design. And the bright blue of Cornflower positively exudes joie de vivre!

Dieci is knitted from the top down, starting from the textured shoulder saddles. You then pick up stitches along the long saddle edges to work front and back separately. The shoulders and the neck are shaped with German short rows. The body is worked in the round to the split hem. After picking up stitches along the armholes, you knit the sleeves in the round as well.

The year 2022 is a very special one for us - we look back on 10 years of Rosy Green Wool. Time to remember and also to celebrate. Our collection this year is therefore called Decade. The individual designs honour our anniversary with their names in different languages. Dieci means ten in Italian.
