This was an absolute delight to design. I hope you enjoy knitting it.

Using a custom colour from your favourite LYS plays well with the Cormo sport by Elemental Affects in your power colour. When these 2 yarns arrived I was blown into inspiration and I love the result.

I threw all the best techniques at this pattern for you knitters that have a few years of knitting in your first fingers: 2 colour colourwork, with 3 or less stitches per colour for short floats, steeking at the neck and armholes for a continuous pattern play, and short rows on those darling cap sleeves.

I give you loads of options to customize your piece for length in the body and separately in the armhole. I give guidance on how to make elegant long sleeves complete with the suggested additional yarn quantities for the project.

It knits up quick if you have the time and that pattern repeat is addictive to see how it progresses. Yes I do love this one.
