The idea for this sweater came out of the fascination of the colors orange and purple together. Just like the crocus flowers in spring, which stand and light up everywhere, like small blobs of color on a grey-brown canvas. Colors that make you happy and add energy. The sweater here is knitted from the bottom up, with a relaxed fit. The body and sleeves are knitted in a pattern according to the diagram in the contrasting color and the base color. After completing the diagram, continue in the basic color in stockinette stitch. The work is gathered and the backing is knitted in a pattern according to the diagram in the basic color and the contrasting color. Finally, finish by raising the neck just before the cervical rib.

Knit strength

24 stitches in 34 rounds = 10 times 10 cm stockinette stitch on knitting needles 3 mm

24 stitches on 27 rounds = 10 times 10 cm in pattern knitting

Knitting needles 60-80 cm long circular needles.

I have used the size needles below. They are not necessarily the same ones you need to use to maintain the specified knitting strength. Go up half or a full row if you get too many stitches of 10 cm. Go down if you get too few.

2.5 mm for rib

3 mm for stockinette stitch

4 mm for multicolored knitting
