Crunchy Leaves Sweater – Knitting Pattern

You can also find my patterns on Ravelry

The Crunchy Leaves Sweater was inspired by my absolute love for everything that makes Autumn so cosy and full of beautiful little details. From the first warm cup of tea/coffee/chocolate to the first cold day, long walks in crunchy leaves and its beautiful colours.
The sweater is made to be comfy, a bit oversized and to enjoy these little moments.
It’s worked from the top down, so you will start from the neck with a yoke, and you don’t have to sew any parts. The sleeves are worked for last from the stitches put on hold.
