The large scale motifs in this design give it a modern vibe and a fun opportunity to get creative! The colourwork in the sample is knit in one colourway of Noro Silk Garden, which changes colour on its own. Another idea would be to use a lighter weight hand dyed yarn held together with a thin mohair yarn. Or you can use multiple solid colours. The pattern includes a chart for 1 or 3 contrast colours.

The main colour yarn used for the sample is Noro Malvinas. The yarns listed above are other suggestions. (Note that Holst Super Soft would need to be held double.)

It is knit seamlessly from the top down. There are short rows at the back neckline, but otherwise it is knit entirely in the round.
