Notes from the Designer:

Earrach, or spring, is one of my favorite times of the year. I love watching everything come back to life, green up, bloom, and begin another year of growth. I also love how spring brings home the knowledge that there is life after winter, no matter how harsh it might have been. This reminds me that this is also very true in life. No matter the trouble you might be going through, there is always a spring to follow your winter.

This fun top is the perfect spring or autumn pullover. Just the right weight for those days that are a bit cool and so easy to wear. This top starts with a 2 x 2 broken rib and then goes into a colorwork band that’s followed by lots of easy, peasy stripes. The sweater is separated for the front and back and then joined again with a three-needle bind off. The sleeves are picked up and worked down in the round, and then the neck band is picked up for that final touch.
