Another gorgoeus colourwork pattern using 4 colours in le petit lambswool. This one uses both stranded and slip stitch techniques for a stunning result and anything but a boring knit!

The body is worked in the round from the bottom up to the armhole and
then back and forth up to the shoulders. The borders are worked in stranded knitting and the main part in a slipped stitch pattern.

It is important to get the right tension for the sweater to get the given measurements ☺

"how to determine your size: take a sweater from your wardrobe that you love and measure its dimensions. it may not have the exact same shape, but it will give you an idea of the size to choose. biches & bûches designs are intended loose, we suggest choosing a size a bit bigger than smaller !"
