There are many way in which to knit ENTRELAC and colours and techniques can be played with within each square. In this model even small remnants can be used. The sweater could also be knitted using one colour throughout. To capture the lightness of spring I have chosen to incorporate a lace pattern into the squares.
The inspiration for this model has come from Tversted and the harbingers of spring in my garden.

All squares are knitted in garter stitch except the squares in the middle which have been worked in lace pattern. For colour suggestion please refer to drawing.
