Mountain Lake
Mountain Lake is a top-down seamless yoke sweater. The neckline forms a textured band with a combination of knit, purl and cables. It has a colourful geometric pattern around the yoke, followed by short rows across the back which help create a better fit. Mountain Lake has a deep hem with ribbing that features knit, purl and a few cable twists.
This pattern is available for knitting both short or long sleeves.
