Named after the juicy citrus fruit, Iyokan is a vibrant autumnal pullover you will reach for again and again. The body of this sweater features textured, twisted stitch panels along the sides and a beautiful twisting motif across the center of the front and back. The sleeves are worked in simple reverse stockinette. Fun twisted-stitch details decorate the sleeve cuffs and neck edging.

Iyokan is knit using Wool Pop – a round, smooth, and plump blend of bamboo, wool, and nylon, This DK-weight yarn boasts a subtle sheen with a heathered appearance to the way wool and bamboo take dye differently. It perfectly complements the twisted stitches used in this bright, sunny sweater.
