**<blockquote> Buy 2 patterns, get 1 free!

A simple colorwork yoke design makes this pattern approachable and enjoyable. Inspired by my favorite time of the year, when all the trees are starting to sprout their leaves and the forsythias are in bloom - after long winters in Maine, it's an exciting sign of Spring when these beautiful yellow flowers appear. > [Click to sign up for the knit.love.wool newsletter for new releases, pattern sales, knitalongs, and knitting inspiration!][1] **SIZES** A (B, C, D, E, F, G)(H, I, J, K, L, M) **FINISHED BUST CIRCUMFERENCE** 36.25 (38.25, 40.75, 43.25, 45.5, 49.5, 52.25)(55, 57, 59, 61.5, 64.25, 67)” / 91 (95.5, 102, 108, 113.5, 123.5, 131)(137.5, 142.5, 147.5, 153.5, 161, 167.5) cm.
