Notes

This was such a fun knit! Eleanor’s usual glorious charts and a really great fitting sweater. I love seeing how pulling out different elements in the chart really changes the outcome. You can truly make this sweater your own.

Thank you so much Eleanor two_hearts

I knit mine in all the shades of sea and the sky from Yama yarn blue_heart
(some brand new colours, some very old stash. I have listed the current ones below point_down)

Yama colours in order knit from neck to hem
Juniper (black)
Purple emperor
Blue jay
Skål (Pale pink) held with pale mohair to soften and create a mauve pink and with very bright orange/red for the inside of the flowers.

Low tide
Blue Jay
Purple Emperor

Yardage 437g total sweater

Contrast colours are Juniper (black) and some very old Skål ( Yama yarn vintage ) held with a bit of mohair and a lilac from Qing.

Modifications
Replaced first three increase rows of chart with yarn overs black_heart ( I don’t recommend it though, I thought it would make cute little eyelets, but it’s barely visible )

Italian bind off on cuffs and hem.
4.5mm needle on sleeve to create a ‘puffier’ sleeve cupcake
