This sweater features the beautiful Monarch Butterfly on the front. The name is a mix of two of its common names – the Monarch and the Wanderer. The sweater is an easy drop-shoulder sweater with little shaping and is nice and cozy when knit slightly oversized. This pattern comes with both a “shorter” version, perfect for over a dress or high-waisted skirt, as well as a “longer” version for those who intend to wear the sweater as a stand-alone top. The butterfly is duplicate stitched on once the sweater is finished.

Sizing
I have provided instructions for 7 finished measurements: 36”/91cm (40”/102cm) (44”/112cm) (48”/122cm) (52”/132cm) (56”/142cm) (60”/152cm). The top should be worn with at least 4-6”/10-15cm of positive ease.

Total length of top ranges from 21”/53cm for the smallest size and 29”/74cm for the largest size, though length adjustment instructions are provided in-text.
