Wiese Sweater

***ENJOY THE 30% BACK-TO-SCHOOL DISCOUNT ON ALL PATTERNS IN MY RAVELY SHOP THRU MONDAY SEPT. 7, NO CODE NEEDED*** Wiese, the German word for meadow, felt like the natural name for this design. The colorwork motif reminded me of grasses, leaves and tiny flowers growing close together, creating movement and texture without becoming overwhelming. Combined with a simple silhouette, Wiese is a sweater that lets the yoke do the talking. The ease across sizes is 5-15 cm/2-6”. The picture shows size 3 with 6 cm/2.5” of positive ease.
