Nothing says SPRING more than freshly blossomed flowers. Here are 6 floral design colorwork sweater patterns (+ two bonus patterns) that will beautifully capture the magic of this season. Although they are all written with wool yarns in mind, cotton blends can work well in colorwork designs.
All of the patterns are available on Ravelry.

2 Bonus Patterns
Here are two additional patterns that are also lovely, but didn’t quite meet my spring floral sweater requirements. They would be beautiful spring sweaters, if they work for you.
Drawing Sweater by Tomomi Yoshimoto
This sweater is super unique in its pattern work, but due to the nature of the design it is much more limited in sizing. If the sizing works for you, it would be a super cool piece to wear.
- 3 sizes from 41-52 inches
- Sport Weight
- Top-Down, Raglan with Short Rows
- ($6.00)

Taina Tulip Sweater by Marita Clementz
This sweater is super fun and bright, but might be a little warm for the spring, as it is worked up in aran weight yarn. If you live somewhere where the springs are quite cool, this would be a great choice.
- 7 sizes 33-52 inches
- Aran Weight
- Top Down, Raglan
- (aprx $10.25)
