When the days are short and the weather is gloomy, I always turn to bright colors to keep my spirits uplifted. The deep turquoise reminds me of lake water in the summer when the trees mirror from its surface. The yellow gives me hope that the sun will return. The pink whispers softly of the happiness it sends all around.

Lapponia is a simple round yoke sweater, with easy colorwork from collar to hem. The sweater has a short cropped length and easy, relaxed fit.

The inspiration for this sweater comes from the main color shown in the sample, that lovely teal called Lapponia. You can find the yarn from Ilo Yarn!
