Arco Iris

---------------------------------------- *Arco Iris means Rainbow* There are different approaches to sweater design. Sometimes, I choose a yarn that will allow me to showcase a certain stitch pattern or special feature... Other times I work out a pattern that will let the yarn have its own show. This yarn deserved the latter! **SIZES** 1 (2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10). Recommended to be worn with no ease or with a little bit of negative ease.
