In Search of Spring - a knitting pattern

The snow is finally starting to melt in the mountains, the forests are turning green and wild flowers are popping up around the forest. As you walk through this magic place the air is cool but the sun warms your face and tiny butterflies flutter around you. These are the first signs of spring.

This sweater is knit from the top down and features a fun colorwork butterfly design just above the hem of the sweater and decorative colorwork details near the cuffs of the sleeves.
