Rachels sweater pictured is kit G
Reflecting takes inspiration from the reflections of foliage and flowers on water. The yoke features stranded colourwork combined with delicate textured stitches to create a beautiful and intricate motif inspired by shapes found in nature; this motif is then reflected in the end of the yoke and into the body and sleeves.
SAMPLE
The wearer is 5’10” / 178 cm with a 37” / 92.5 cm chest circumference. The sample has been worked in size L, giving the wearer 9.75” / 24.5 cm of positive ease at the chest. To allow for the wearer’s height, an extra 1” / 2.5 cm has been worked into the sleeves and an extra 2” / 5 cm has been worked into the body.
