The Medianoche Sweater (midnight in English) is inspired by the deep cobalt blue of the yarn that I used for this sweater. The color itself evoked brightness, yet it reminded me of the night. The night that tangles creatures, sounds. So furtive, that it wraps you up, just like this sweater.

The Medianoche Sweater is a top-down sweater that features a circular yoke for the shoulder, and a semi-turtle neck. It is worked in the round until reaching the beginning of the bottom ribbing, where the front and back are divided to work them back and forth. The sleeves are worked in the round.

The cables featured on the Medianoche Sweater are worked without a cable needle, so it’s very practical when working in the round.
