This is a pattern for a handknit sweater for an adult, medium size.

This sweater takes its inspiration from Alice Starmore.

This is a the original version of my Nine Years Flowers sweater. Here again the main color scheme is periwinkle and variegated red. The front and back are identical. The chest has a small flower pattern in variegated red against a background of periwinkle. A band of darker blue with a Celtic swirl in shades of darker pink separates the chest from the body of the sweater. The body is also periwinkle with a different flower pattern in variegated red. The hem is a peplum of dark blue and rows of pale pink to dark pink. The sleeves repeat the body flower pattern and the dark blue band. The neck trim is dark blue and shades of pink round flowers. The wrists repeat the chest band pattern.

Pattern has written directions, materials lists, and full color charts to enlarge. The pattern assumes a good knowledge of knitting, or at least an adventurous spirit and a knitting guidelines book. Obviously other color combinations are possible. Have fun!
