Your Outdoor Adventure II
Inspired by my love of camping, the outdoors, and going on an adventure with my family.
This design gives you so many choices. The pattern has instructions for short or long sleeves and yoke only or full colourwork instructions. This version is for the wider shoulder, deeper yoke version. Check the chart in photos for details on sizing and yardage.
Finished measurements are;
36½ (40, 43, 46½, 49½, 53, 56, 59½, 63, 66, 69½) inches
91 (100, 107.5, 116, 124, 132.5, 140, 149, 157.5, 165, 174) cm
Sweater is designed to fit with 2-4 inches (5-10 cm) positive ease. The model in the photo is wearing size 4 with 4 inch (10cm) positive ease.
This pattern allows you to decide what charts to use in your sweater. The wedge yoke charts are fixed images but after that, the design is up to you! There are 10 large charts that are interchangeable (Tent, RV, Vintage Trailer, Canoe and Paddles, Hammock x2, Outhouse, Hiker, Aurora, Forest), 2 medium size charts that can be interchanged (campfire & marshmallows and crossed axes) and 6 small charts to be used in between the larger ones.
