Confident Beginner. This pattern requires only basic knit, purl and simple increase stitches. The stranded colourwork only uses 2 colours at a time and you do not need to catch floats.

The Bonfire Sweater is knit top down in the round creating a circular yoke. Stitches are set aside for the sleeves while the body is worked in the round. Sleeve stitches are picked up and worked in the round. It is easy to modify the length of the body and sleeves by knitting more or less rounds. 

Shortly after purchase you will recive an email with the download links for the PDF pattern. For more information please see here.
