Melrose is a top down circular yoke with asymmetrical floral motifs. It is a deviation from the typical geometric Fair Isle colorwork style. Whether made up with multiple colors or monochrome, it can become a summery staple in your wardrobe!

Fit:
Recommended positive ease of 4-10” at bust and 1” at arm. Sweater shown is size 2 with 10” of positive ease on 32” bust. Some sizes employ an underarm gusset to tailor fit, inspired by Guernsey style fisherman sweaters. Note: Bust/body sizes correspond with their respective sleeve and are not interchangeable. Doing so would change the placement of the motifs on sleeves.

(second sample is made with Berroco “Modern Cotton” in MC “Spinnaker”, C1 Fort, C2 “Coffee Milk”, C3 “Breakers”, C4 “College Hill”. it uses C4 and C3 for a color block and hem at bottom of the top).
