If there is any errata, it will be updated here:
-5/19/20 update: For the colorwork gauge swatch, I casted on 70 sts, not 56 sts.

“Zélie” was knit top-down. The shaping of the yoke was done by four increasing rounds on the upper half of the yoke. After, the difference in the gauges of the plain Stockinette & color work section was accounted for by one additional increasing round.

Stitches were separated for sleeves at bottom of the yoke while continuing the color work pattern & additional stitches were cast on for the underarms. The yoke & sleeves were knit with no ease while the body with about 2” negative ease for a fitted look. After switching from color work to plain Stockinette, the difference in gauges was accounted for by one decreasing round. All borders are in garter st.

This written pattern assumes that you know the basics of German short rows & stranded color work knitting. It is a condensed pattern for you to modify according to your measurements & design preferences, using your gauge.

Difficulty Level: Intermediate.

Sample size XS shown stretches to fit 32” chests, 26” waists, & 36” hips.

The finished project in size XS weighed about 200 g (with loose yarns clipped & not including gauge swatches) & needed about 1 ball of each yarn listed below. Please estimate how much yarn is needed for your size accordingly. When in doubt, always get an extra ball.
