The Wild Berries Sweater is a cozy, top-down colourwork sweater with a relaxed fit, perfect for layering. It is knitted seamlessly from the top down, shaped using German Short Rows (GSR) for an improved fit. The yoke features a beautiful stranded colourwork pattern, and the length of both the body and sleeves can be easily adjusted to your preference.

The pattern includes instructions for knitting with either three or four colours, allowing you to customise the look to suit your style. To make colour planning easier, you’ll receive two charts:

  • One with the colours shown in the sample photos
  • One in black and white with symbols, if you want to choose your own colours.

You will receive two separate PDFs: one for the three-colour version and one for the four-colour version, so you can choose which version to knit.

Since the yarn used has a relatively short yardage (50 grams = 70 meters), you may need additional yarn if you plan to lengthen the sweater or sleeves.

Skill Level: Intermediate – Requires familiarity with stranded knitting, knitting in the round, and short rows (instructions included).
