The Spot of colors sweater is an easy and quick knit. We love that, don’t we?
The stitch patterns are really fun to create too. From an elongated basketweave stitch to the always popular Feather and Fan and easy stockinette knitting.

The yarns used here make it feel very comfy and light, plus they are so texture rich! Both the front and back are knitted flat. The sleeves can either be knitted flat or you can pick up stitches and knit them in the round, the sleeve section gives you both options.
