A smaller version of the wildly popular Wildflower T! Sized to fit from infants all the way through teens.

Wildflower is a top-down, stranded colorwork T-shirt that is worked in the round. The sample above is worked in 5 colors of fingering-weight yarn from Mystery Mouse Yarn Co. I made size 6.

On the adult sweater, I used Size 3 US/3.25 mm needles, but to get the same gauge on the smaller sweaters, I had to use Size 4 US/3.5 mm. My gauge gets tighter working smaller circumferences in the round. Use the size that you need to get gauge.

Please feel free to make this your own! I specify 3-5 colors in the materials list, but you can use more colors if you choose. Wildflower is the perfect vehicle for using your mini skeins.

Gather up some contrasting but complementary minis and your favorite background color and knit yourself a Wildflower!
