Fantasy Summer Pastel

Fantasy Summer Pastel is a seamless, top-down sweater featuring a circular yoke and a relaxed, modern fit. Soft pastel shades create a light, playful look, while the combination of a main color and leftover yarn makes every sweater completely unique.

The sweater is worked seamlessly in the round before being divided into the body and sleeves. The voluminous balloon sleeves, finished with long ribbed cuffs, give the design its distinctive silhouette. Clear step-by-step instructions make the project enjoyable to knit while allowing plenty of freedom to create your own color combinations.

Designed with approximately 20–25 cm (8–10”) of positive ease, Fantasy Summer Pastel is available in 10 sizes (XS–6XL).

Yarn Substitution

Yarn substitution is possible, provided the required gauge is achieved.

Always knit and measure a gauge swatch before starting your project.
