The Kaleidoscope Embroidered Sweater is a twist on the Kaleidoscope Striped Sweater we ran during a previous fall’s KAL. Worked top down, seamlessly and in the round, this yoke style sweater is ideal for beginner knitters looking to make their first sweater. We’ll give you instructions on how to recreate the embroidery you see here, however feel free to make it your own! The yarn recommendation in this design is for the short sleeve version - grab an extra skein or use stash to lengthen sleeves or the body!
