Reminiscent of a meadow of lovely wildflowers and ferns, the beautiful yoke of Averie beckons your eyes to the cute little bird that merrily pecks berries amidst the lush foliage. Be it with a dark or light background, the stranded colorwork yoke is equally eye-catching. With a gentle A-line silhouette, the slightly cropped sweater is worked seamlessly in the round from the top down, and has short-rows to raise the back neck for a comfortable fit.
