The Holland Dreams Sweater is inspired by the LOOONG Michigan winters when spring is so close, yet so far away. Or when spring has officially arrived but still feels like winter. There’s nothing like some sweet, scandi style bobble flowers (reminiscent of spring tulips) to keep you cheery while you wait for little pops of green to break through the snow.

Holland Dreams is a yoke style sweater, knit in the round from the top down and seamless. It’s a simple knit, made interesting by 2 rows of bobble flowers with cabled leaves.

Sweater is meant to have 6 to 8 inches of positive ease which is worked into the pattern.
