Fall down the rabbit hole into a whimsical world of art deco and floral motifs. The Wonderland Sweater is a top down, yoke sweater worked in the round using simple stranded colorwork. The body of the sweater is intended to be slightly oversized with fitted sleeves. With two colors being the stars of the show, you can customize using high or low contrast color combos with a third accent color for extra dimension. This sweater is great for beginner colorwork knitters yet also entertaining for advanced knitters.
