Dovetail is a worsted weight colorwork sweater featuring Alegria Grande Bocados ! Bocados, Spanish for little bites, are our 25g/49yd mini-skeins of Alegria Grande. With 10 colors in the Bocados palette, there are plenty of beautiful 5-color combinations to inspire!
Dovetail's colorwork is written rather than charted, so it's approachable for any level of colorwork knitter!
A note about ease: Anaïs is wearing the 34½” Foil version of Dovetail with approximately 2 inches of ease and Kiley is wearing the 42½” Kohl version of Dovetail with approximately 6" of ease.
