This Scandinavian-inspired floral design is a fun and striking knit!

Caitlin used sport weight yarn, but says you can play with fingering and DK as well (taking gauge into account) to make this a great pattern to knit again and again, and so we are recommending Cheviot Marsh 4ply.

Yarn
We are suggesting our Cheviot Marsh 4ply which is a lovely bouncy woollen spun yarn with great stitch definition.

These are just approximations. Total yarn usage will depend on the yarn, your personal gauge, and any modifications you may make.

Needles and Notions

Main: US 5 3.75 mm – 16” 40 cm circular needle and preferred needles for small circumference knitting.
Ribbing: US 3 3.25 mm – 16” 40 cm circular needle

Gauge

24 sts and 30 rounds over 4” 10 cm in colorwork pattern on main needle, after blocking.

Note- You should always knit your swatch the same way that the pattern is knit—in this case, in the round. Block your swatch as you will your finished garment and allow it to dry fully before measuring.
