The Bee Together Sweater features a meticulous color arrangement that creates strong visual impact using just three colors. This design stems from traditional stranded colorwork and imagination of the bees. The folded collar gives a finished look with or without a layer underneath. Sleeves are designed to stop at wrist so that you can go about your everyday tasks, such as knitting your next sweater.

This pattern includes useful tips for stranded colorwork. It is recommended that you review the tips and watch the tutorial videos before starting the colorwork.
