Bohemia is a classic colorwork yoke sweater with ~8% positive ease.
It is knit top-down in-the-round, starting with neckband and then continuing with colorwork yoke. It also features raised back (for all sizes) and horizontal bust darts (for adult sizes 3-14 only, optional) – worked with short-rows – for anatomic fit. The yoke is split at the armpits, after which body and sleeves are worked top-down in-the-round, finishing with ribbed hem.

YARN: fingering weight wool (350-380m/385-410yds per 100g/3.5oz) in 2 colors: main (MC) + 1 (or multiple) contrast color (CC).
