Crazy Plant Lady

Plants make people happy and I’m willing to bet so do sweaters that feature plants! My obsession with house plants inspired this new color work sweater pattern. Crazy Plant Lady is a top down sweater worked in the round which features a sampling of color work potted plants, watering cans, and Monstera plant leaves! Knit up in Tuku Wool’s fingering weight Finnish yarn it features earthy, rustic tones. This cute sweater is perfect for the knitter who also happens to love houseplants!
