This is a colourwork tabard from the inimitable Kaffe Fassett, very much reminiscent of some of his earlier work. The whole body of the garment is charted, worked using intarsia in a pattern of shaded leaves.

The front and back are joined along the shoulder seams, and also there is a seam across the border at each side, defining the armholes.

Fourteen shades of Felted Tweed are used. Yarn requirements are as follows:
