A sweater inspired by nature, made to be worn in nature.

Construction
Worked top-down with raglan increases. The neckline is shaped with short rows while working the first increases. After this, switch to stranded colorwork and follow the chart. Once the yoke is complete, separate for body and sleeves, and work each section separately.

Size guide
The garment has an intended ease of approximately 4–8 cm (1.6–3.1”), and the ease increases with size. The smaller sizes are designed with a slightly closer fit to layer comfortably under outerwear, while the larger sizes have a more relaxed fit so the sweater can be worn for a longer time. It is recommended that you measure against a garment you already own and choose the size based on your personal preference.
The pattern also includes tips for creating “in-between sizes.”
