The pattern is not included in this kit. Head on over to Ravelry to purchase the pattern. We've kit up A Murder Of Crows by Dawn Barker in our MT x Barker Wool assigned pooling colors. "A Murder Of Crows is an Assigned Pooling pullover knit seamlessly in the round from the top down. The texture in the yoke is made by assigning one stitch pattern to the background color and another to the accent color. In this case, tiny bobbles are made on a field of plain Stockinette Stitch each time the accent color occurs in a skein of specially designed variegated yarn. The texture pattern is reminiscent of crows swooping together in a flock and then alighting on a telephone line." The pooling dispersion will vary by size, so the look of each sweater will be unique.
