My Deer Sweater pattern is 15% off till 1st of January 2021!

MY DEER sweater is a stranded colourwork sweater with a top-down construction. You will start with knitting a twisted rib neckline and then proceed to the increases and colourwork yoke. The increases are done using M1L and M1R methods.

The yoke can be knit both with and without the wrap stitch that forms very delicate bobbles - its up to you to decide.

After the yoke you will knit a set of short rows to elevate the back and shape the neckline. Then the body and sleeves will be separated while casting on stitches for underarms. This sweater has long cozy sleeves with a slight balloon effect.
