wakaba is the simple loose sweater with block check pattern. I named it “wakaba”(sprout) as the color reminds me the light green sprout.
As always my design is very easy and simple, this pattern is worked from top-down, in the round.
I used 2 fingering weighted yarns held double, so the total weight would be the same as DK. You can either use 2 different yarns enjoying the color mix or one single DK yarn.
