Around the World Sweater

Description

Designed by Carmen Jorissen

The Around the World sweater is a fun colourwork sweater, mix and match colourwork patterns to make your unique sweater!

Accompanying tutorial videos will be published on my Patreon page starting from the Rosewood tier. Willow and Elder tier patrons will receive the pattern for free.

This sweater is designed with 2-4 inches / 5-10 cm of positive ease (extra room). If you’re in between sizes, I recommend going with the bigger size.

Skill level
You don’t need experience with knitting sweaters, but I do recommend having experience in colourwork knitting. Subscribers to my Patreon page will also gain access to the Colourwork Confidence Masterclass, which is ideal for beginners!
