The double gourd has a layered meaning in Chinese symbolism, working to ward off evil, bring protection, blessings and good fortune, and to promote fertility. If you need to bring a little goodness into your life, check out Tina Tse Knits’ Double Gourd Sweater.
This comfy looking sweater has split hems and a slit neckline, and features the double gourd pattern in bands of different colors. The sweater is worked from the top down and is available in eight sizes, up to a 58 inch chest circumference. It’s meant to be worked with a couple of inches of positive ease.
You can get the pattern from Tina Tse Knits’ website.
