Viisto

**The pattern is released in parts as a KAL. As the sweater starts with the boring part of working the back, you get those instructions right away. The fun parts of the front and sleeves will be released as follows:** **Part 1 (Back): N-O-W** **Part 2 (Front): August 10th** **Part 3 (Right Front): August 17th** **Part 4 (Left Front): August 24th** **Part 5 (Hem and Sleeves): August 31st** **You can join in the KAL in my Ravelry group [Where We Once Knitted][1] and on Instagram. I will be doing lives and post videos of any tricky parts.** Viisto sweater is made up of little sections like a patchwork quilt. The back of the sweater is worked in one piece and one yarn, featuring European shoulder construction. The front is worked on the bias in sections with different colours and a couple lace sections to amp up the romantic vibe. The centre front uses intarsia to hold the fronts together and once you reach the full front length, the rest of the fronts need to be worked separately. The fronts will be seamed together with the sides of the back. The calculation of the design took a lot of trigonometry and unfortunately, modifying the length of the body is not a simple task but you can adjust it slightly by adjusting the length of the hem ribbing. Sleeve length can easily be modified to your liking. **. : Size : .** XXS-XS-S-M1 (M2-L1-L2-XL) 2XL-3XL-4XL-5XL This sweater is meant to be worn with a bit of positive ease.
