**Inspiration**
A few years ago I read the book 'About Grace' from Anthony Doerr, the same author who inspired a lot of my book-inspired patterns, such as the Hotel of Bees shawl, the Sea of Flames Shawl, the Shell Collector Wrap and the 2020 Scheepjes CAL d'Histoire Naturelle.
In the book we follow David Winkler, a man fascinated with weather and an obsession with snow. As he discovers the wonders of snow crystals through his microscope, we do too when working this sweater. Did you know that snowflakes are truly unique?

**Yarn**
The sweater is made using Scheepjes Metropolis (75% merino, 25% nylon), 50g/200m, in two colors:
* Main color - Johannesburg 054 (warm purple)

Among the pictures you will find the meterage per size and per color.

**Sizing**
The pattern is designed for sizes XS-3XL. Measurements of the finished sweater are given in cm and inches. Choose your size based on your bust circumference and upper arm circumference. The sweater should have a sleeve with approx. 2cm/0.8”positive ease at the upper arm and a bust with 10.5 – 17.5 cm/ 4.2 – 7”positive ease.

The model, my sister, is wearing the purple version in size XS and the blue version in size M.
