I have always been fond of the little blue Speedwell flowers growing nearly everywhere, alerting us that spring is here!

This is a pattern for a pullover worked from the top-down and knit in the round top with a 4 petaled Speedwell and leafy motif. Included are instructions to work with or without waist shaping and 3/4 length or long sleeves.
Since it is worked from the top down, there is some room to customize your sweater.

There are 2 samples of Speedwell:
Sample A was worked with 4/20NM held double, 4/13 held single. (Ecru & Blue)

Sample B was worked with 4/14NM and 10/30NM held single. (Corbezzolo & Gold)

If you make any adjustments to size, yarn amounts will change. Please, see schematic for approximate finished measurements.
