APRIL SWEATER is a soft pullover, with wide 3/4 sleeves and two large bows applied on the shoulders.

It is a classic bottom-up model.
You work the parts separately, the front, the back, the sleeves and, of course, the bows. Everything will then be sewn and finished.

The pattern is very clear, each step is described in a simple and discursive way and you will also find tutorials and explanation of the points used and finishing techniques.

SOME SIMPLE POINTERS:

First, read the whole text. On the last page you will find the reference measurements for the various sizes. Choose yours, considering that the sweater has a fairly soft fit. Isolate instructions in text, underlining them or highlighting them with a different color.

If you find that you do not know the techniques used, watch the video tutorials now. Scan the QR you find next to the explanations and access, without any registration, to canva.com, in view-only mode.

It is always important to make a small guage swatch with the yarn you have chosen. Check that, with the same number of stitches and rows, your guage matches ours. If not, try to increase or decrease the tension while working or, even, to change the needles size. In any case, being a handmade product, it is normal that small differences may be between our sample and your finished garment. Always give space and confidence to your creativity!
