Capture the essence of a Californian spring with this knit sweater, where the gentle hues of wild poppies dance amidst cozy yarn, inviting memories of hillside wanderings and roadside wonders.

This sleeveless, lightweight pullover showcases an intricate stranded motif inspired by California’s state wildflower across the upper chest. The tee begins with a ribbed front and back flaps in the main color, then is joined in the round to knit the stockinette body. Two-color stranded knitting is used for the upper chest, using self-striping Chroma yarn to color the flower motif. Short rows shape the neckline. Steek for the armholes and finish with ribbed trim on neck and armholes.

Colorwork pattern is charted only.
