Rainbow Puddles Adult

This sweater is a celebration of creative freedom, playful experimentation, and the simple joy of making. Think of it as a coloring book for knitters: choose your own palette, mix textures, use treasured scraps, and watch the design come to life. No two sweaters will ever be exactly alike. The result is a garment that is just as enjoyable to knit as it is to wear. What you will get • detailed written instructions with step-by-step photos and stitch explanations • full-color intarsia charts with stitch symbols (separate files for each size) • sweater outline template for planning your own color palette • swatch chart • links to supporting video tutorials Design overview A seamless top-down raglan sweater beginning with a double-rib collar.
