The Eucryphia is a small tree that produces scented flowers in the late Summer and is an important source of nectar collecting for bees. Eucryphia is native to South America, coastal and eastern Australia, and Tasmania.
Eucryphia means ‘well hidden’.
This is a pattern for a jumper worked from the top down and in the round and using the stranded colourwork technique.
Eucryphia has a 6 colour (see my Eucryphia cardigan sample) and 4 colour version (my sample seen in images).
Please see schematic for all approximate finished sizes to chose the fit you prefer.
The pattern does not include waist shaping, but does have a small note about how to work this by changing needles or increasing sts for hips.
Colour/symbol charts are included for 6 colour version and for 4 colour version.
