This is a pattern for a handknit sweater for an adult.

This was inspired by Ted Harrison's beautiful book O Canada. He painted scenes for each province. It is such a treasure!

On the front is the scene for Quebec, with old houses and a peachy swirly sky. The back is the scene for the Northwest Territories, with an elk and a wolf in a bare landscape of amazing colors. The left sleeve is British Columbia, with an Orca swimming in a deep blue sea, and the right sleeve is Newfoundland and Labrador, with a blue whale and more swirling colorful skies. Maple leaves in red on white are at the wrists and hems. There is also a trim of white snowflakes on dark blue. The neck, wrists, and hem have a trim of red and variegated blue stripes.

I am not Canadian, but my family loves the amazing anthem and Ted Harrison's transcendent book.

This pattern is hard! You will have to be patient with all of the crazy color changes on some rows. Several times when I was knitting this, I had to take a moment just to collect myself.

Pattern has written directions, materials lists, and full color charts to enlarge. The pattern assumes a good knowledge of knitting, or at least an adventurous spirit and a knitting guidelines book. Obviously other color combinations are possible.

Have fun!
