This sweater is all about the love for stranded colourwork!
Knitted top down and charted all over. Use all scrap yarns you’ve got or use a yarn that shifts in colour along the way, as I have done in the violet example.
I have knitted many sweaters just out of my own ideas but this pattern is my very first design to be written down for others. I hope that you enjoy it! And please let me know if you find errors or maybe some other things that could make it better!

Measurements given are for finished garment. This sweater is designed to be worn with 2-4” of positive ease at the bust. It is a quite boxy short body but if you like to you add charts G (adds 8 cm/3,25” for body) and H (adds 6,5 cm/2,5” for sleeves) to lengthen it.

Sport weight, in total about 1300 m - 1800 m (1420 - 1970 yrds) depending on size and if extra charts for lengthening of body and/or sleeves are used. For size S I used about 510 meters (190 gram) of yarn as contrast colour.
