Art Nouveau fairisle sweater

This is a top-down design where you start with the yoke, separate sleeves, finish the body. Then add the collar and sleeves. Sleeve and body length are easily adjustable.

Three colors are used: one main color and two contrast colors. Colorwork is done in fairisle technique and bottom and sleeve finishes are done in both knit, purl and fairisle. The collar is done in supple rib, which gives a “lacy” impression.

Apart from yarn you will need 4mm circular needles 40cm/16”, 60cm/24” and 80cm/32”, scrap yarn and markers. Optional 3.5mm circular needles.

Yardage is around 75% MC, 12% CC1 and 12% CC2.
