Butterfly Sweater Pattern

The Butterfly Sweater is a simple, fitted silhouette that uses simple stockinette stitch throughout the entire body. The glamorous open back detail is accented with a crocheted butterfly motif that is both colorful and feminine. Use small amounts of different colored yarn or a couple different variegated yarns to create a similar effect for the butterfly detail. This intricate design detail is perfectly balanced against the simplicity of this flattering sweater. Note: The original yarn requirements used in this project called for 10 different colors of yarn in 3 different weights. We are suggesting that you use 2 weights of Chroma in 2 different colorways, to acheive a similar look
