This pattern has been updated in March 2021 with 3 additional sizes!
 
The sample was knit using one main colour and 3 different contrasting colours (sometimes using up to 3 strands of yarn per row for the colourwork). If you don’t feel that this is your cup of tea, the pattern offers a different chart to knit this sweater using only 1 contrasting colour for a result that is different but just as lovely!
