About:
The Cabin Lake Sweater is a yoke colour-work sweater, knit entirely in the round, from the top down. It is named after a peaceful little alpine lake in the mountains above my hometown of Vancouver. The colour-work for some of the smaller sizes continues down the yoke to a little bit past the underarm of the sweater.

Thank You’s
This pattern is a collaboration with Jensen of Sugarplum Circus. It would also not be possible without the dedicated help of the many test knitters who inspired me with their own unique twists on the pattern, and the meticulous and always supportive tech editing by Nicky Jensen.
