Without a doubt, monarchs are the most iconic butterfly in the United States. They are most famous for their annual migration, which takes place each spring and late summer/fall. Some journey as far as 3,000 miles to their winter homes in the south!
This pullover design features a stranded colorwork yoke using fingering or light fingering weight yarn. The construction is entirely top down and in the round, and the pattern includes optional side seams and waist shaping, as well as options and yardage for short or long sleeves. The monarch motifs represent an attempt to capture these magnificent butterflies in flight, perhaps on their migratory trek across the continent.

YARN
The Farmer’s Daughter Soka’pii (100% MT & WY Rambouillet 248 yards/227 meters per 50 g skein, light fingering) or any light fingering or fingering weight yarn. Yardage for either yarn weight is provided below. Soka’pii is a subtle thick and thin single ply that is amazingly soft and cloudlike. MC colorway is Paul Newman, CC1 is Flower Point and CC2 is Natural. For more drape, a sock yarn or single ply merino is recommended. Choose yarns with plenty of contrast.
YARDAGE
The yardage below is broken into fingering or light fingering. Follow the yardage for the yarn weight you plan to use. Please note that while row gauge may be difficult to achieve with fingering weight, there is some leeway built into the yoke depth of the pattern.
Alternative CC2: Try using beads for each white stitch as some testers did. This video demonstrates how you can use a crochet hook to add beads to your knitting: https://knitosophy.com/how-to-knit-with-beads/

En Español
Sin duda, la mariposa monarca es la más icónica en los Estados Unidos. Son famosas por su migración anual, que tiene lugar cada primavera y cada finales de verano/otoño. ¡Algunas viajan hasta 4.800 km para llegar a sus hogares invernales en el sur!
Este diseño cuenta con un canesú de punto Jacquard (o colorwork) en lana de grosor fingering. Tejido de arriba abajo (Top-Down) y en circular, el patrón también incluye opción de dar forma a la cintura y costuras laterales además de poder elegir entre manga larga o manga corta. El diseño de la monarca representa un intento de capturar esta magnífica mariposa en vuelo, quizá en su viaje migratorio a través del continente.

Elásticos: Circulares de US 2/2.75 mm, 16 plg /40 cm de cable para el cuello y 32 plg/80 cm o cable más largo para el dobladillo y mangas; DPNs o circulares de circunferencia pequeña si no usas anillo mágico (magic loop).

Lana
La lana de la versión inglesa original es The Farmer’s Daughter Soka’pii (100% MT & WY Rambouillet 248 yrds/227 m por 50 g por madeja, light fingering). Es una lana de una sola hebra con un sutil cambio de grosor. Es increíblemente suave, como una nube.
La lana de la versión en castellano es Soc una Troca!!! Kitten Fingering (100% Superwash Merino 437 yrds/ 400 m por 100 g). Es una lana suave y versátil de 4 hebras (4 ply) con una caída espectacular. El jersey de muestra está tejido con MC Rose Leaves y CC Electric Violet con cuentas de color rosa pálido y morado oscuro.
Cantidad de lana necesaria
Las cantidades en la izquierda están divididas en fingering o light fingering. Sigue las cantidades para el grosor de lana que planeas utilizar. Por favor, ten en cuenta que, aunque la tensión de vueltas puede ser difícil de lograr con grosor fingering, hay un poco de margen incorporado en la anchura del canesú.
Importante: CC2 es opcional y puede ser tejido con MC.
Alternativa para CC2: Prueba usando cuentas para cada punto blanco como algunos de los testers hicieron. En este video se demuestra cómo puedes usar un ganchillo de crochet para añadirlas: https://knitosophy.com/how-to-knit-with-beads/
