NOTES ABOUT DESIGN

The Medley Sweater is a top-down sweater with a round yoke.

The entire sweater is worked in the innovative overlay mosaic crochet technique. The design is exclusively worked from the front side, using two contrasting colors at a time, A and B, and each row alternates between the two. This method is ideal for round designs as it obviates the need for yarn breaks. Switching between colors is accomplished simply by dropping the current color and picking the other one.

After finishing the yoke, the piece is split into sleeves and body. The three parts are worked individually until the desired length.

YARN

For the MedleySweater, I used Durale Comfy by Durable Yarn, which is 100% microfiber acrylic. The colors I used were 2172 (Cream), 2212 (Linen), 2192 (Pale Pink), and 2210 (Caramel). Each skein of yarn weighs 100 grams and has approximately 266 meters of yarn.
Here’s an approximate breakdown of the yarn required for each size:

2172 (Cream) : 240 (260, 280, 310, 350) (390, 420, 460, 500) meters
2212 (Linen): 410 (430,470, 510, 580) (640, 710, 760, 820) meters
2192 (Pale Pink): 460 (490, 530, 580, 660) (730, 800, 860, 930) meters
2210 (Caramel): 540 (570, 620, 680, 780) (860, 940, 1010, 1100) meters

Please note that the yardage requirements may vary depending on your chosen length and color pattern.
