I’m currently having trouble paying through Ravelry, my patterns can be purchased on Boosty (see the link in Source)On this site you pay for the post, it contains a PDF file with the English version of the pattern. I will also send you the pattern via Ravelry so that it will be saved in your library throughout the day. Sorry for the temporary convenience

Construction

The sweater is knit mainly top-down with minimal seaming. Children sizes have 1 button at the back.
You start with the circular yoke knit flat sideways in garter stitch (using short-rows for shaping and creating the print) and then seamed together at center back.
You then pick up yoke edge stitches, add short-row shaping to raise the back for a better fit, separate for the body & sleeves, and knit them top-down in the round.
The body is knit straight and has minimal positive ease of 1-2 cm/ 0.5-1”. The sleeves have 2 shape options:

• Bishop (flared towards the bottom, then cinched at the cuff);
• Straight (slightly tapered). All edges are decorated with I-cord (applied or bind-off). You can also opt for 1 of the 1 color-blocking options (see schematics in the pattern photos):
• Option 1: body & yoke in MC, motifs in CC
• Option 2: yoke in MC, body and motifs in CC

The print was partially inspired by lovely hats from Woollywormhead. If you would like to use up the scraps and make a matching hat - I highly recommend her Toph pattern & the whole Elementals hat collection.
