Happy Sweater

Happy Sweater is a happy chance to use lonely scrap yarn skeins in your stash. The sample uses four colors but play with the idea of using more colors, too. The stranded colorwork pattern is simple, you only use two colors at a time. And the pattern repeat is only four stitches, so it is quite easy to see and memorize from the work.

Finished bust measurements approx. 35.5 (38.75, 42, 43.75, 50.5, 54, 55.5, 59, 61.5)” / 88 (97, 105, 109, 126, 135, 139, 147, 154) cm Sleeve circumference: 13.25 (14, 15, 16.5, 18.25, 20, 20.75, 22.5, 22.75) “ / 34 (36, 38, 42, 46, 51, 53, 57, 58) cm
