Helleborus is a flower-inspired pullover worked seamlessly top-down. The sweater features a gorgeous cabled yoke made even more stunning by the combination of cables and stranded knitting at the bottom of the yoke. This sweater is worked with fingering weight yarn held double. You could work it in a single strand of DK weight yarn but using two strands of fingering weight opens up a whole lot of possibilities for colour play and fading as you can change one colour at a time while keeping the other fixed. The sweater has long sleeves and no waist shaping. The hem is cropped.
