Summer blues is a vest - or a pullover if you add the sleeves - with an allover design of little flowers in stranded colorwork.
First the back is worked top down and back and forth (no steeking).
Stitches are picked up & knit for both fronts which is also worked back and forth and top down with a V-neck.
When reaching the same length as the back the body is worked further down in the round.
Lastly stitches are picked up for the sleeve bands in 1/1
ribbing. If desired, stitches can be picked up & knit to add the (layered) 3/4 sleeves.
The pattern is written but the colorwork is charted only. Please read through the pattern before you print it. You won’t need all the pages, only the ones referring to your size.
