Pattern: Colorways - Sweater

An individually adaptable pattern for a versatile, comfortable knitted sweater, designed by Birgit Freyer in the Colorways style.

For this casual sweater, all parts are directly joined by picking up stitches. Thus, it is almost seamless. Only a small gap in the middle of each square of part 1 has to be closed as a finish.
The different directions of knitting showcase the colourways of variegated yarns perfectly. Stockinette parts, garter ribs and eyelet rows can be combined according to your personal taste.

The sweater is worked according to individual measurements and can be knitted in all sizes.

The original sample shown in the picture has been made of Schoppel Zauberball Crazy. The original yarn can be substituted by any variegated yarn in a similar weight.

The pattern contains charts.

Please note: This pattern contains detailed instructions about the construction and shaping, as well as charts for the ridges and eyelet rows. The distribution of the ridges and eyelet rows is up to your choice. On the last page of the pattern, you will find detailed examples.
