Spring Leaves
A decorative sweater with an eye-catching all-over leafy pattern that keeps you warm on the rainy days of spring, even if the yarn-overs make it a bit breezy. Choose another colour, and you can turn the sweater into “Autumn Leaves”:)
Spring Leaves is knitted in the round from the bottom up – if seaming is not your favourite activity, you will love this project.

- The yarn I used for the sample project is SPORT weight (75% wool, 25% polyamide, 150 m / 50 g) knitted with slightly larger needles to get a light fabric. This gauge can be easily obtained with DK weight as well, however, in this case the sweater will be slightly heavier.
