Sunrise is a colorful sleeveless vest that will transport you back to your childhood landscape drawings. Fitted and with a short round neckline, it’s perfect for adding a splash of color to your outfits — or for using up your yarn stash creatively!

Construction Overview
Sunrise is knit from the bottom up using circular needles and the Intarsia technique.

• Start by knitting the hem in the round before switching to back-and-forth rows for easier color management.

• Once you reach the armholes, the work is split into front and back sections, which are knit separately.

• The shoulder stitches are joined using a three-needle bind-off on the wrong side for a clean finish.

• The neckline and armholes are doubled and knit in the round directly from the body.

The pattern includes both step-by-step instructions and a color chart to guide you through the motif.
