Spriiing! is a lightweight pullover knitted top down.
It features two large flowers worked in intarsia. It is worked back and forth to not overly complicate the intarsia colorwork, so there is only one seam to close at the left side.
Stitches are picked to knit the sleeves top down in the round with short rows to shape the sleeve cap.
The sleeves are 3/4 but can easily be made shorter or longer.
The pattern is written but the intarsia colorwork is charted only.
For ease of reading and following the pattern it is split in two pdfs: one for the smaller sizes and one for the larger sizes.

Finally some embellishments can be added: duplicate stitch, 3D crochet and embroidery which can be found in the separate pdf: Spriiing! embellishments. These embellishments are optional, you can add as much or as little as desired.
