This pattern is currently in testing

Do you have the late winter blahs? Excited for spring but it’s too cold for cute spring outfits?
Maybe you’d like to have a quirky, crazy knitting project that has a little of everything thrown in: lace, short rows, colourwork, and cables… why not? There are 7 colours called for in this pattern so do some stash diving and come up with the wildest palette you can imagine.
Or… just mix and match the charts to your delight, modify the other elements as you please, and choose a more subdued palette that speaks to your personal taste.

Whatever you do, be fearless, and therefore powerful.

CONSTRUCTION NOTES
This sweater is knitted top down in the round. The yoke consists of a collar and 4 sections that increase in size. Increases are worked on the first row of each yoke section which is always a solid colour. When the yoke is complete, stitches are held for the sleeves while the torso is completed with two simple cables. Then stitches are picked up and sleeves are knit in the round to the cuffs.
