Sweater Construction
A classic top-down, boxy-fit sweater with an easy-to-knit colorwork yoke. Short rows are used to enhance the fit and provide a higher back neck. The seed stitch collar, cuffs, and hem provide a sophisticated finish to the design and using color-shifting yarn will add interest to the flower yoke design. The Blooming Color Sweater is perfect to wear while visiting a local sheep and fiber show or walking through a forest of falling leaves.
