This chart was a custom request and has not been sample knit. Because it has not been sample knit, the pattern is not available for individual purchase, it is only available as a bonus pattern included in the Entomological Knits – Lepidoptera Sweaters eBook.

This sweater features a beautiful female Peleides Blue Morpho butterfly on the front. The sweater is an easy drop-shoulder sweater with little shaping and is nice and cozy when knit slightly oversized. This pattern comes with both a “shorter” version, perfect for over a dress or high-waisted skirt, as well as a “longer” version for those who intend to wear the sweater as a stand-alone top. The butterfly is duplicate stitched on once the sweater is finished.

Sizing
I have provided instructions for 7 finished chest measurements: 36”/91cm (40”/102cm) (44”/112cm) (48”/122cm) (52”/132cm) (56”/142cm) (60”/152cm). The top should be worn with at least 4-6”/10-15cm of positive ease.

Total length of top ranges from 21”/53cm for the smallest size and 29”/74cm for the largest size, though length adjustment instructions are provided in-text.
