Oras
This is the cutest little sweater with sweet sprouts and flowers all over.
This sweater is worked top-down seamlessly. The sweater has a round yoke and a cute all-over colorwork pattern with little sprouts and flowers. The sweater has long sleeves and no waist shaping. The hem is cropped. Because of the colorwork there’s no bust dart but you can easily lengthen the body of the sweater.
