The Firefly Pullover is a round-yoke sweater featuring colorwork fireflies (aka lightning bugs) and little speckles of light. Did you know fireflies aren’t actually flies, but rather are a type of beetle. I love to see them glow and hope you do too! The pattern is knit top-down, making it easy to try-on-as-you-go.

Instructions are provided for 10 finished chest measurements: 30”/77cm (34”/85cm, 38”/97cm, 43”/109cm) (48”/122cm, 50”/126cm, 53”/134cm) (58”/146cm, 62”/158cm, 66”/167cm). The top should be worn with about 0-4”/0-10cm of positive ease. Total length of top ranges from 21-25”/54-64cm though length is easily adjusted.
