This pattern is being testknit, it will be available soon.

JOIN THE CIRCUS – DK version, is a luxuriously soft and warm sweater with a classic circular yoke. The sweater is knit in the round from the top down and has a simple stranded colorwork pattern on the yoke. As the sweater is knit in the round the pattern is only worked from the right side and therefore quite simple even for knitters with little experience with stranded colorwork.

The sweater has four colors, one main color which is the color of the sweater and three contrast colors. The first contrast color is the base color of the yoke. The second contrast color is the cast-on color at the neckline, the third is the “seeds” or dots on the yoke and the stripe / petals at the end of the colorwork. It is best to use colors that have good contrast for the pattern to be clear.
