Travel to the artic with this glorious knit! This sweater is inspired by a trip I took to Alaska to view the Aurora. A bit of stranded colorwork keeps the yoke interesting while plain Stockinette stitch ensures a simple body. Colorwork is resumed on the lower sleeve to balance out the design. All in all, this is a pretty simple, top-down knit.

Purchasing this design gives you 2 separate patterns - one for the smaller sizes (“Asriel for Babies”, sizes 3 mo - 3T) and one for the larger sizes (“Asriel for Littles”, sizes 4T - 16 years).

This design is also available for adults (Asriel Pullover for Bigs)
