DETAILS
A perfect project to use your Advent Minis or any other scraps you have leftover. By holding your fingering weight scraps and minis along with a mohair for blending – you will create a fabulous colorful masterpiece!

The pullover itself is a super customizable and very flattering with a close neckline, faux saddle shoulder construction with a puffed sleeve. A very simple and seamless pattern worked from the top down using directional increases to create the silhouette and the appearance of a tailored piece. Easy to dress up or dress down.

Perfect for you Yarn Advents with a gorgeous top just in time for Holiday festivities!

FIT & SIZE
Size 1 = 36”/91cm, Size 2 = 42”/102cm, Size 3 = 48”/122 cm, Size 4 = 54”/137cm, Size 5= 60”/152cm. Sizes based on finished bust circumference.

This garment is to be made with a more fitted shoulder which evolves to have some positive ease in the chest; I would suggest approx. 2-6”, 5-15 cm of ease but knit what you are most comfortable wearing. Sample shown in size 2.
