Featuring a textured yoke with flowers and bobbles, Floret is worked seamlessly from the bottom up. The modern bohemian yoke is worked on a reverse stockinette background to let the floral motif shine. Working the yoke is great fun and appropriate for intermediate knitters. The stitches for the sleeves are provisionally cast-on at the beginning of the yoke so that the sleeves can be worked from the top down. This type of construction allows the knitter to customize the sleeve length if desired.

This pattern has been tech edited and test knitted.
