Skill Level

Make a statement with this bold sweater from Lisa Richardson. Large flower motifs are worked all over the body and sleeves using the intarsia technique and Summerlite DK. You can choose to add embroidery to your finished sweater, of which there are two options, a subtle addition of just a pale green highlight, or a more detailed version using several shades of Summerlite DK and 4ply.

Please note if you want to knit the multi colour embroidery version you will need small amounts of Summerlite 4ply in Pinched Pink 426 and Aubergine 432, and Summerlite DK in Lagoon 457.
