This lovely sweater combines an eye-catching arrow mosaic motif with stripes and easy lace to create a beautiful, lightweight item worked in fingering weight yarn in your favourite two colours that you’ll love to knit and wear.

It’s an oversized-style sweater with a loose and swingy body, wider crew neck, dropped shoulders and fitted sleeves. Worked top-down, seamlessly in one piece.

Mosaic knitting is an easy and fun to knit colourwork technique that uses slipped stitches and only one colour at a time.

The pattern provides detailed step-by-step instructions; for the mosaic motif and lace both written and charted directions are included.

I hope you enjoy knitting your Felicitas sweater just as much as I did!
