Say hello to Do Ewe Yoke? No. 2, the second Mystery Yokalong we’re bringing you in collaboration with Do Ewe Knit?, Moondrake Co, and Spincycle Yarns. This one’s another geometric stranded colourwork design with some fun new techniques sprinkled in—perfect for anyone who loves a creative challenge!

Check out the Do Ewe Yoke? No. 2 announcement on YouTube here!

Starting January 20th, 2025, you’ll get 7 weekly clues that slowly reveal the final design—like unwrapping a little surprise every week. The clues will come straight to your Ravelry inbox and email, with step-by-step instructions for each part of the project. PLUS, each clue will include video tutorials packed with tips and techniques to help you along the way.

One of the best parts? The community! You’ll get to connect with other knitters, share your progress, ask questions, and show off your work. This year, we’re hosting the knitalong on our Skool platform, where you’ll also find all the video tutorials in a course format after the first clue comes out. The group is free to join, and you can hop in anytime.

Difficulty: Intermediate

Sizes: 1 (2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9)

Finished chest circumference:

  • 91.5 (101.5, 110, 120, 131.5, 140, 150, 161.5, 170) cm
  • 36½ (40½, 44, 48, 52½, 56, 60, 64½, 68)”

Designed to be worn with 10-15 cm / 4-6” positive ease around the chest.
To choose the most appropriate size, measure the wearer’s chest and add the preferred ease. Or measure the circumference of an already-owned sweater that fits well. Then find the closest finished chest circumference.

For those with a bust size larger than a C cup, it’s advisable to use the upper bust measurement plus the desired ease to ensure the sweater fits well around the shoulders, with slightly less ease around the full bust.

Yarn: Fingering or sport weight, depending on the length of the pullover, allow approximately:

Main colour (MC):

  • 940 (1030, 1080, 1180, 1250, 1315, 1405, 1505, 1585) m
  • 1030 (1130, 1180, 1290, 1365, 1440, 1540, 1650, 1735) yds

Contrast colour (CC):

  • 455 (490, 540, 575, 620, 660, 715, 760, 815) m
  • 495 (540, 590, 630, 680, 725, 785, 830, 890) yds

It’s a good idea to keep a strong contrast between your main and contrast colours. If you’re using yarn that changes colors, make sure the contrast level stays consistent across all the colours.

Ultraviolet Stardust (85% Superwash Merino, 15% Neon Donegal Nep; 400 m 437 yds / 100 g) as main colour and 3 skeins of Spincycle Yarns Dyed In The Wool (100% American Wool; 183 m 200 yds / approximately 47 g) colourways exclusively for Do Ewe Knit?, Ewenicorn and Across the Eweniverse as contrast colour.
