This lovely sweater is inspired by my love of the variety of wildflowers in spring and summer.

The sweater is knitted in the round with 3.5mm (4US) needles from the bottom up in separate pieces (body and sleeves) until the chest and then knitted together for the upper chest up to the neck (yoke).

The pattern includes instructions for five sizes: X-Small, Small, Medium, Large, and X-Large. The corresponding bust measurements for these sizes are: 33” (36.5”, 40.5”, 44”, 48.5”).

The sample is knit with sports weight alpaca, Drops Alpaca (100% Alpaca, 4 ply). Each ball is 25 grams / 167 meters. The yarn selection shown in the picture are (number of balls are shown with larger sizes in brackets):
o 5 (5, 6, 7, 8) Off White (0100) (colour A)
o 1 Goldenrod (2923) (colour B)
o 1 Navy/Purple (6736) (colour C)
o 1 Dark Green (7895) (colour D)
o 1 Tomato (3900) (colour E)

However there are lots of other potential great colour combinations and other types of yarn that would suite this pattern!

The pattern includes charts for the fair isle of the sweater.

Hope you enjoy the pattern! Happy knitting!
