Designed by Paintbox Yarns, the pattern is recommended for intermediate crocheters. The pattern includes instructions for bust sizes 30 to 46 inches (76-117 cm). Instructions are written using UK terminology with changes for US terminology given in italics.
The designer used Paintbox Yarn Cotton 4 ply. Paintbox Yarn Cotton 4 ply is a sport weight, Size 2 100% cotton yarn. It’s soft and smooth, with lots of drape for fine knits and crochet garments, great for shawls and wraps – and hardy enough for amigurumi too. Choose from fantastic colors from the Paintbox palette for a cotton finish you’ll love.
Paintbox Yarns are one of Nana’s Favorites. I absolutely love the color choices that are available. You can find my Paintbox review on the What’s Nana Making site.

Is there a mistake on the sleeves instructions with regard to the number of stitches on the repeats after row 15 of sunshine sweater
Hi Jill,
I have not made the sweater yet. Perhaps you can leave a comment on the download link.
If you are unsuccessful, let me know. I can try to figure it out.

I agree! I’m at that point now and unsure whether to repeat again as it would end me up with about 10/15 more stitches than it says it should! Did you carry on the second repeat or not?
