KNITTING PATTERN -- Fairlight Sweater – P226
The sweater is worked top down, no seaming. A great stash buster, each new colour is introduced by working a slip stitch, a great way to use up all those leftovers. The yarn quantities are a guide. However, you can use as many colours as you wish. Perfect little sweater for Spring or Autumn.
