A stunning colorwork panel is the main attractive sign of this pattern by Tomomi Yoshimoto.
We fell for it at first sight, and thought it would have been great for A Chic Blend, to make an elegant, lightweight yet colorful pullover, with its relaxed shape that drapes perfectly once worn.
You may play with high or low contrast combinations and use just 2 shades or 3 three as the pattern suggests, for more striking effects.

Needles
US4 (3.5mm) 40cm～100cm/15.75” ～40” circular needle for ribbing
US6 (4.00mm) 60～100cm/23.5” ～40” circular needle for body and sleeves
If you do not use magic loops, you will need US4(3.5mm) and US6(4.00mm) DPNs for sleeves.
Please note that using the recommended needles with A Chic Blend will create a quite loose fabric, therefore if you prefer to have it more compact just go down one a quarter/half size with your needles and check gauge again, this may affect yarn quantities required.
Gauge (After blocking):
Using US6 (4.00mm), 25 sts X 30 rows =10 cm (4”) in Stockinette stitch
