My granddaughter just finished grade 6, and to celebrate her transition to high school—which also happens to coincide with her birthday—she asked me to knit her a sweater. I offered to design the sweater myself and let her have the fun of choosing the colours. And that’s how the Léa sweater was born! - Réjeanne Côté

This sweater with a circular yoke is knitted in the round, without seams, from top to bottom. Knit 20 rounds in each color, except for the short rows, which are worked in the same color.
