Funfetti sweater inspired by multi-coloured sprinkles cake decoration, is knit using a slip stitch pattern that resembled this happy colour mix. Choose a bright or more muted colourway to your own liking.
Funfetti is a slightly cropped length sweater with positive ease and set-in sleeves. It is knit using a versatile 3-colour, 6-row slip stitch pattern with ribs in contrast colour.

The sweater is knitted in pieces (back, front and sleeves) from the bottom up. The neckband is worked by picking up stitches along front and back neck edges after the shoulder seams are sewed together and knitted in the round.
