Snake sweater
An other fun one by Lalla Ward! A snake! And not just a snake but one that crawls around your neck and arms!
Pattern includes charts for the front, the back and the sleeves. Is worked flat and the colorwork is done with intarsia.
Sadly this pattern is available in the book in one size, but if you are willing to add some stitches, swap needles sizes and yarn weight you will be able to make this work! Book has (what I believe some tips and trick to do so!)
