Yarrow Pattern

Description

Yarrow is a slightly oversized, circular yoke pullover worked seamlessly from the top-down. Inspired by the classic Scandinavian style and designed by Marie-Amélie Madignier, Yarrow is a great project with which to perfect your stranded colorwork.

Yarrow is the fifth pattern from The Almanac Series, a seasonal guide to knitting with The Fibre Co. yarns. This collection will feature a new design every month, each in a different yarn according to the qualities of the yarn to match the season.

This pattern is also available as a kit, that includes the PDF pattern and Cumbria.

Yarn:

The Fibre Co. Cumbria (60% Merino wool, 30% Masham wool, 10% mohair, 216 m (236 yd) per 100 g hank) in Catbells (A) - 4 [4: 5: 5: 5: 6: 6: 7: 7] hanks, White Heather (B) - 1 hank, and St. Bees Beach (C) - 1 hank

Construction notes:

This yoke sweater is knitted seamlessly in the round from the top-down beginning with the rib neckline. The yoke is worked following the colorwork chart to the underarm where the body and the sleeves are split, and the sleeve stitches placed on hold. The lower body is then worked to the hem in A. Short row shaping using yarnovers is incorporated at the end of the neckline and after the body and the sleeves are split to raise the back neckline for improved fit. The sleeves are knitted in the round from the top down.
