Averie Sweater
Step into a meadow of engaging colorwork with Averie, a delightful top-down sweater that captures the charm of wildflowers, ferns, and a tiny bird pecking at berries among the foliage. Whether you choose a dark or light main color, the stranded colorwork yoke makes a stunning statement. With its gentle A-line shape and slightly cropped silhouette, Averie is both flattering and comfortable. It’s worked seamlessly in the round from the top down, featuring short rows to gently raise the back neck for a perfect fit.
The pattern includes comprehensive written instructions, with detailed colorwork charts for both light and dark versions. Plus, supplementary video tutorials guide you through key techniques—making this an enjoyable and confidence-building knit from start to finish.
