Me & Ewe
Don't ewe just love playful colorwork? This top-down, seamless yoked pullover features seasonal stitch patterns, with options for spring or fall, and our favorite knitting-related animal. Colorwork is primarily charted, with the exception of the dots featured in the A-line body & blousy sleeves. Yardage information is provided to work the pattern as shown with alternative colors in these two selections, or with the same background color on both. Upper arm pleating is the cherry on top of this sweet sweater.
Grab the sweater by itself, or snag the Me & Ewe Collection instead! Right now, the collection is priced for just the sweater and hat designs, but as patterns are added to the collection, you will automatically receive them at no additional cost even though the set price will increase per pattern.
Skills needed: This is an intermediate level knitting project. Knitters should be comfortable with stranded colorwork, short row shaping, working AT THE SAME TIME instructions, and working from charts. Pattern includes written instructions for a basic W&T and optional Tubular Hems. Links to video tutorials for catching floats and color dominance are provided.
