Lovebirds Sweater

A little birdie told me...that you need him on a sweater with his true love! Inspired by the [Lovebirds Cowl][1], this array of geometric colorwork is worked seamlessly from the top down with yoked increases & short row shaping both at the shoulders and the bottom. The gentle A-line shape of the body combined with extra length at the hem complements curvy and straight body types alike. Options are provided for two different Body and Sleeve styles: classic stockinette or a simple cable along with short or long Sleeve lengths. Instructions are provided to work Body inside out for less purling, if desired. Shown in Size M with 1.5" (4 cm) positive ease; 1-4" (2.5-10 cm) ease is recommended. Colorwork is charted. Because a few rounds feature longer floats, this pattern is recommended for knitters with prior stranded colorwork experience. LoveKnitting yardage recommendations are for long sleeves; PDF includes lower recommendations for cap sleeve version.
