Laurel

If you are looking for a flattering, easy fit classic sweater, this could be a favourite. And, if you would like to stand out from the crowd with a Springtime spray of leaves, this design will turn heads. The leaves and stalk are all knitted separately. I chose to embellish just the sleeve, but you can decide how you wish to accent your look. The main body is worked bottom up, with the sleeves worked top down. Full written instructions given.
