This sweater is worked top down yoke in Aran gauge (so you knit it fast!) with modern easy colorwork that defies trends. I really love minimalist clothes with just the right amount of pizzazz and it’s important to me that if I spend time making something, I actually wear it for years to come:) The sweater has a standard fit and a slightly a-line shaping for a flattering touch:)

The sweater is worked top down in the round so you can try it on as you work on it to ensure a good fit.

YARN
I recommend using Istex Lettlopi or Plotulopi - these yarns are light and warm and will wear well and are perfect for stranded color work. However, if you prefer softer options, any wool yarn that works up to gauge will be a great substitute.
