Caraway Sweater
There is a reason we all love a good colourwork yoke: they can be graded to fit a wide range of sizes, make good use of precious single skeins, and can be easily customized. “Caraway was originally conceived as a showcase for my own handspun yarn,” Mona says. “The simple geometric patterns and breezy lace are easy to knit and combine to create something bigger than the sum of their parts!”
