The Sunset Sweater is perfect for cool summer evenings and chilly autumn days - or wear it in winter as a reminder that the warmth and the light will return.

This sunny sweater has a slightly cropped, swishy shape, wide sleeves that gather at the wrist and the simplest of intarsia - and you can embroider it with the story of your sunset!

The sunset

This is a gentle intarsia project, with usually only three strands of yarn in use, and with a maximum of five at any time, and there are also instructions for knitting either the front or the back in a single shade.

The pattern includes embroidery tutorials for duplicate-stitching a little more detail in, and adding stars to the sky.

Sizing information

There are ten sizes included in the pattern, with chest circumference measurements from 90cm to 180cm. There’s also plenty of guidance for adjusting the sleeve and body length.

Yarn

I used cotton and laceweight fluff held together to knit this sweater but if you prefer to use just a single strand of yarn a DK weight yarn will work just fine.
