HIGH PEAK SWEATER is a stranded-colourwork yoke sweater knitted from the top down in the round. First the neck is cast on and worked in simple 1x1 rib and shaped by short rows. The increases are worked first in main colour and subsequently in pattern. The colourwork starts on the yoke and is continued on body and sleeves. The rib on the cuffs and hem is finished with a simple bind-off. HIGH PEAK SWEATER features colourwork detail with stylised mountain peaks and suns.

Please choose a size 10-25 cm larger than your actual chest circumference. For reference: the sample in the photos is in size 2 with 11 cm positive ease.
