A stranded colourwork, yoked sweater, Barnoon is inspired by my favourite views across the rooftops of St Ives, and the work many artists have produced reflecting the unique colour and light of the town.

Tension: 26 sts and 38 rounds = 10cm/ 4in in stocking stitch worked in the round on 2.75mm (UK11 / US 2 ½ ) needles
Needles and notions: 2.5mm and 2.75mm needles for working in the round are used. For the sleeves (both needle sizes), choose double-pointed needles or your preferred option for working small circumferences in the round. For the body (both sizes), use circular needles a little shorter than your bust circumference. For the yoke (larger needles only), use DPNs at least 7cm long, or continue with circular needle using the magic loop technique.
Or appropriate needles to achieve tension and needles one size smaller.
