Notes: Leonora is worked flat in pieces from the bottom up, and features charted colourwork using the intarsia technique. The back and front shoulders are grafted together using Kitchener stitch, and the side seams are sewn. Sleeve sts are then picked up around the armhole and worked down in the round to cuff. Stitches are picked up around the front opening to work the ribbed band. Finally, the shoulders are embroidered with a chain stitch using bulky yarn.
The pattern is intended to be a freestyle, abstract design, perfect for using up scraps from your stash. Feel free to change or add extra scrap yarns to those indicated in the pattern.
