Liris sweater pattern

Liris

A fabulous sweater to knit and wear. It is quite stylish and comfortable in a brilliant mix of textures, fibers and colors.

Knitted flat in Stockinette stitch and easy color block changes, which makes this a great and relaxing sweater to knit, even for the beginner. When knitting with the suggested yarn, no changes needed as the yarn does all the work for you. The sleeves are flared out a bit with a lacy detail for a feminine touch and are knitted flat, then joined. The ribbed neckline is accomplished with smaller needles.
