Pink Summer is inspired by a time when colours were allowed to be strong, contrast was part of fashion and clothes said something about who you were. The design borrows from the iconic knitwear of the 80s, told through CosyMonday's soft, feminine lines.

The pink, purple and golden tones come from long summer days, flower meadows and the evening sky – a combination that gives the sweater a lively, optimistic and warm look.

Colouratura is CosyMonday's most colourful collection. Creativity, freedom and personal expression are at the centre. The designs invite you to play with yarn, colour and texture, and to make garments that spread joy – both to knit and to wear.

Pink Summer – The Sweater is knitted from the bottom up. Body and sleeves are knitted separately before they are joined with classic raglan decreases. The smooth body is balanced by decorative mock cables and wide cuffs that give the design its retro character.

The pattern is clearly laid out, with plain explanations and a good work flow. It suits you if you want to explore colour and texture without the techniques getting complicated.

• A flexible cast on
• Raglan decreases
• Mock cables
• Twisted knit stitch
• Using stitch markers
• Securing and knitting in ends as you go
• Neat finishing

The mohair gives the design a light, airy and soft quality with a lively play of colour. The different shades create depth and make the sweater change with the light and with the way you style it.

This is a perfect project if you like experimenting with colour. Try new stripe combinations or use leftovers in the same yarn quality – the construction makes it easy to create your own version of the design.
