This pattern was inspired by pomegranate blossoms, when the fruit and the flower are still connected together.
“Granatum” is a Latin word for Pomegranate.

Construction: Granatum is a seamless top down sweater with a textured stranded colorwork incorporated into the circular yoke. Short rows ensure a comfortable fit. Body and sleeves are knit without any shaping.
