Birkenbush
A spring themed pullover with budding leaves, nodding bellflowers and knitted with a lustrous yarn that catches the sunlight.
The lively combination of cables, twists, lace and wrap stitches, wich extend into the ribbing, make this pullover interesting and challenging to knit.
The pattern panels are customised to fit different clothing sizes and to create a stylish and elegant sweater.
