Dessine-Moi Un Mouton

I was listening to the audiobook of Le Petit Prince, when I worked on this project and now I strongly suspect that the lovely book influenced my colour choices (even if one can’t actually see Saint-Exupéry's lovely illustrations with the audiobook… but who knows how the little princes universe is working???)

About the little, lightweight jumper: it’s quite some time now that I really wanted something cropped to wear over my everyday uniform of leggings and long tops. I wanted something flowing but still simple, boxy but with a hint of shaping, comfortable and big enough but with a delicate, refined neckline and long, skinny sleeves! I also experimented a bit with the sleeve-cuffs and left the neckline raw, I like it that way actually! (Note that the pattern offers to choose between two options for the neckline: the “raw” neckline as the one in the sample pictures and a closer neckline, worked with picked up stitches)
