This colourful sweater is based on the wing patterns from the Swallowtail butterfly. I used a novel dot-pattern at the top of the yoke to knit the front/back and sleeves in different main colours, while working in the round.
After the stranded colourwork section on the yoke the body carries on in one colour and the sleeves in another.
Knit from the top down, the sweater construction is rather simple and seamless.
An entertaining knit with various details to indulge in, alternated with simpler parts of plain stockinette in the round.
