A perfect sweater for the autumn, featuring a design of oak leaves, acorns and branches, with squirrels scampering around the yoke.

The sweater is seamless and knit top down. Knitting top down has the advantage that you can try the garment on as you knit, which means you can make adjustments as you knit and achieve a perfect fit.

The pattern is for sizes S - XXL - so you’re good if you fall within the following size ranges:
Chest 82 - 138 cm (32 - 54 inches)
Waist: 59 - 114 cm (23 - 44 inches)
Hips: 88 - 144 cm (34.5 - 57 inches)

Can be adjusted to be longer or shortened to make a more cropped top.

Sleeve length can be adjusted - full or 3/4.

Options are included for a looser or a more tailored fit around the waist.

You will need around 400g of yarn around 300g in the main colour and 100g in the contrast colour.

Charts and full instructions included.
