| Description | Get ready for the holiday season with the Poinsettia sweter, featuring a snowflake hem, and a poinsettia around the yoke! More subtle than the standard "ugly christmas sweater", but loud enough to scream holidays, the poinsettia sweater is knit from the bottom up in the round with the sleeves joined at the yoke. It is knit up in DK weight yarn, creating the perfect warm - but not too thick for a coat fabric.
Please note, Pattern has a few rows that are knit in tricolor color work.
DK Weight Yarn: in the following colors: Green - 3-7 skeins, 900-2300 yards Sample shown in Sun Valley Fibers DK Bluefaced Leicester (BFL) Superwash (Antler), Neighborhood Fiber Co. Studio DK (Olive, Station North, Logan Circle), and Apothefaery Fabrications Delightful DK (13 - burgundy)
Sizes available for bust measurements: 33.25 (36.5, 40, 46.5, 50, 53.25, 56.5, 60)" Garment is meant to be worn with 1-2" of positive ease. |
