Sweep
Designed by Rachel Brockman

Sweep is a colorful sweater full of whimsy and fun. The playful fringe hemline echoes the bristles of a paintbrush, sweeping brilliant colors across a painting. Colorburst lends its self-shading splendor to create vertical stripes across the body of the piece. Twisted ribbing and garter stitch add a bit of texture, without over-complicating things. You are sure to have a terrific day any time you sport the Sweep pullover!

PATTERN NOTES
Sweep is knit in one piece – worked sideways from cuff to cuff. After seaming the sleeves and side, stitches are picked up around the hem and neck for a ribbed edging. Finally, fringe is attached along the hem.

Sweep is available as part of e-book Chroma, and as an individual pattern through Ravelry.
