Butterflies have always held a special place in my heart & I hope you find a special meaning to this design just as I have in my life. Anyone can relate to the feeling of becoming more settled into ourselves each & every day – just like butterflies, we are all in different stages of metamorphosis. We are each a butterfly in bloom.

This garment is knitting from the top-down and features short row shaping, 2 colorwork charts, and raglan-style increases before the body and sleeve separation. These raglan increases allow for an amazing fit around the top of the arms and bust. For the sleeves, there are options for long sleeves with a colorwork cuff or short sleeves.
