The Colour Sweater is a top-down yoke sweater with rows of puff stitches in a contrasting colour. The sections in between the colour rows are made in a modified waistcoat stitch, which is less dense than the original waistcoat stitch, in order for the sweater to be less heavy. It also gives a nice knit-look, mimicking knits and purls.

Sizes:
The sweater is made in 8 sizes: (2-4-6-8) (10-12-14-16) years (size table below). The sweater has a positive ease of 6 cm / 2.5 in.
