Venture into the woods with a sketchbook or head to town for a dinner date. This refined pullover inspired by the innovations of the mid-century Bohus Stickning couture designers dresses up handsomely without being too fine for everyday living. Flight is knit seamlessly in Loft from the folded hem and cuffs—use one of the contrast colors underneath for a secret detail if you wish. Elizabeth Zimmermann’s classic circular yoke construction gets a modern update with shaping to flatter your form: waist decreases are worked more frequently on the back to remove fabric where most bodies are narrower, while extra increases on the front accommodate the bust. Short rows create a comfortable fit at the shoulders and neckline. The yoke features a gradient of chevrons in warm and cool browns, subtly melded by occasional purl stitches. Some rounds require the use of three colors, so this design is best for knitters with stranded colorwork experience. The shallow motif suits most body types and won’t overwhelm your stamina for complicated knitting.

CONSTRUCTION
The body and sleeves are worked circularly from the lower edge to the underarms. The pieces are then joined and the yoke is worked in the round, with short row shaping to shape the lower back yoke and neck.
