ABOUT THE PROJECT
Sometimes spring feels far away. The cold lingers, the wind still bites your cheeks even though the calendar says March, and the colors are still waiting to appear. It was in such a spring that the Spring Sweater was born, I wear it all year long despite the name and I hope you will too.

The sweater is knitted top down on needle size 10. First, cast on the collar, then the neck is shaped using short rows. Then make raglan increases, and finally finish the body and sleeves separately.

Spring sweater has a chunky look and approximately 30 cm of positive ease. The sleeves are three-quarter length.
