If you’re looking to brighten your day or stand out in a sea of neutral tones, this vibrant sweater is just what you need. Knitted top-down in the round, the design features a bold, repeating neon blossom motif that dominates the circular yoke. Once the yoke is complete, the body and sleeves are separated, and both are worked in stockinette stitch in the main color for a smooth, streamlined finish.
This pattern is perfect for advanced beginners who are comfortable with colorwork.
The pattern includes written instructions and a charted colorwork section.
