Thank you to Nikki for knitting this beautiful sample!

This Alyssum sweater was made to create a sweater with an even finer floral pattern than the Drawing sweater.
The designated yarn is thicker, so it looks like a big flower, but it is a smaller flower chart than the Drawing sweater.
Unlike the Drawing sweater with raglan sleeves, this sweater has a round yoke. The pattern is repeated horizontally, like a textile.
The flower pattern is smaller than the Drawing sweater pattern, so a finer yarn can be used to create an even finer floral sweater.
This sweater is hard to take your eyes off the pattern and the pattern is long, but there is no flat knitting (during color work).
Drawing sweater have fewer pattern but may be more nerve-wracking than Alyssum sweater due to the flat knitting(only GSR part).
Choose the pattern that suits you best.
Alyssum sweater also have a similar shape to the A-line.
Hopefully this text will answer some of your questions.
