Knitting Pattern: Pastelli Sweater (by Annika Konttaniemi)

The nature-themed colorwork pattern of the yoke comes to its own in soft and modern tones. The sweater is worked from the top down.

The pattern for the Pastelli sweater was previously published in Beloved Patterns & Pentik knitting magazine, where the inspiration came from Pentik's decorative textiles and ceramics.

General information:

Pastelli sweater is worked in the round from the top down and is a lovely, light summer knit. A larger than usual needle size is used for a fingering-weight yarn to create a more light-weight fabric. If you desire, you can shape the body to be more fitting or adjust the sleeve and body lengths according to your own style. The sample sweater is worked to a cropped length. If you decide to make any changes, please note that they may affect the yarn consumption.

Difficulty:

Intermediate.
