Fortuna is a lightweight versatile sweater for mild seasons outdoors or as a light layer indoors. Worked in fingering-weight yarn, instructions are included for both a cardigan and pullover version, depending on preference, as well as options for full and 3/4 sleeves! It might just become your lucky sweater.

This pattern is worked seamlessly from the bottom up. Sleeves
and body are worked separately until the raglan yoke, at which point all 3 pieces are joined and worked as one piece.

Cardigan shown worn with 2 ins positive ease (slightly loose). Pullover shown worn with 4 ins positive ease for slouchy look. If
in doubt, 2 ins positive ease at bust is recommended, but please choose size and fit according to your own preference.
As shown, the cardigan has 3/4 sleeves, the pullover has full sleeves.
