Notes

The colours are darker in reality, what seems to be pink is red-purple
I converted the pattern of the sweater for my punchcard machine. The punchcard measures nearly 80cm

The name of the pullover comes from the 25 colors I used.
To share some experience with the yarn: Rowan’s yarn broke every few rows which was not amusing.
Jamieson’s was much more stable

I worked with 193 stitches and used up nearly 800g of yarn. The colors changed every 3rd or 4th row, sometimes two strands at a time
Back of sweater fell off the machine 4 times, front 2 times, sleeves 1 time each

edit: because I got so many questions about the fact that my husband wears colored sweaters.
Many women complain that men do like more discreet colors. Oh, those men don’t know: my husband is often approached by attractive women who make compliments about his knits. On congresses or in training lessons even men are interested in pattern for his knitwear.
