Glänta (Copse in English) is not for the fainthearted. The leaves are knitted in a technique that probably could be described as lace and stranded knitting at the same time. A figure hugging jumper with a yoke of leaves over a faded background. The right side has reversed stocking stitch to show off the fade best.

Sizes 36 - 42 need one leaf skein and one each of three fading background skeins.
Sizes 44 - 48 need an extra skein of the lightest background colour.

The yarn used is Silkawoola fingering from Cindercilla yarn, but you could use any merino-silk blend fingering yarn.
