Wildflower Pullover
Wildflower Pullover is a drop shoulder sweater featuring an all-over stranded colorwork flower motif. Worked in fingering weight yarn, this sweater is perfect for those days of early spring when wildflowers are beginning to bloom but there is still a chill in the air. Work the stripes of flowers all in one color, in two as I did, or use as many colors as your heart desires (this could be a great project to use scrap yarn!) to make the sweater your own.
You can also purchase this pattern through Ravelry if you’d like it to be in your Ravelry library.
