This yoke style pullover is knit seamlessly from the top down and is a versatile way to use skeins that aren’t quite enough for a sweater (at least not until you put them together). As with the other coordinating Block Party patterns in this book, you can mix and match colors you might not normally use together—just be sure you have enough contrast between the yarns to showcase the stitch details; they can get a big muddy if the yarns are too similar.

Gauge

Notions

• Stitch markers

• Waste yarn for holding stitches

• Darning needle to weave in ends

• Blocking mats & pins
