Description

Autumn is a beautiful season, cozy and colorful, where nature paints the world in warm shades. It’s a time when crisp, cool air beckons us to wrap ourselves in the comfort of sweaters. The Fall Medley Sweater is a testament to this enchanting season. With its intricate design inspired by the foliage and the changing landscapes, this sweater not only keeps you warm but also allows you to carry a piece of autumn’s beauty with you all year long.

This sweater is worked from the top-down, featuring a yoke worked in stranded colorwork with four colors (though only two per row!), colorful specks adorning the body and sleeves, and a straight shape for cozy comfort. It is worked in DK weight yarn and is available in 10 sizes.
