Inspired by the colorful characters of the Italian commedia dell’arte, Arlecchino mischievously boasts bold colorwork and buoyant bobbles in airy, woolen-spun Loft. Choose contrasting hues for body and sleeves, then blend in a bevy of brilliant colors at the yoke — perfect for those leftover skeins you’ve been saving. Pop on a button at the back neck for a merry finishing touch, then bestow upon a beloved bright spirit.

Pattern Specs

CONSTRUCTION

  • The body and sleeves are worked circularly from the bottom up, then joined at the underarm. The yoke is worked circularly to the collar, which is then worked flat.
  • The collar is worked flat with an opening at the back of the neck to make it easier to fit the sweater over a child's head.
  • The back neck opening is finished with a simple button closure.
  • A number of pattern features are optional, to offer a range of skill level. For example, the bobbles may be worked as plain knit stitches; the underarm stitches are joined using either Kitchener Stitch or Joinery Bind Off. The back neck may be shaped using Short Rows: Wrap & Turn method.
