This pullover is a sort of Easter egg, a mystical totem of a gardener, who hopes for the rain and good harvest with the pattern of sun elements and rakes, which bring rain. Worked top down seamless in the round, this design features round yoke decorated with “rain drops” of wrapped knit stitches and a colourwork section on the bottom of the body.
The pattern is written for nine sizes 1 (2, 3, 4, 5) (6, 7, 8, 9) to fit 74 (84, 94, 104, 114) (124, 134, 144, 154) cm // 29 (33, 37, 41, 45) (49, 53, 57, 61) in bust circumference with ca. 10-12 cm (4-4.75 in) of positive ease.
