Bloom On Sweater is a fingering-weight sweater featuring an intricate stranded colorwork yoke that flows beautifully from the circular yoke onto the body and sleeves. Engaging to knit and full of little details to discover, the pattern keeps you happily knitting while the hours seem to disappear. Worked seamlessly from the top down, it can easily be customized to your preferred yoke depth, as well as the length of the body and sleeves.

The sample combines a deep forest green with a softly brushed contrasting mohair, both by Malabrigo Yarn.

The sweater is designed with 5–15 cm/2–6” of positive ease. The pictured sample is size 2, with 8 cm/3.25” of positive ease.
