A beautiful, modern design that remains happily timeless, Little Abloom features a gorgeous wreath of flowers encircling the yoke. The stranded colorwork motif is fun to knit and only uses two colors. Worked from the top-down, Little Abloom includes instructions for both a pullover and a dress. The yoke is fully charted with written instructions for the body and sleeves.

This pattern has been tech edited and test knitted.
