November Oak II
November Oak II is a drop shoulder constructed pullover knit from the bottom up. The body is knit in the round to the underarm then separated and knit flat, in front and back pieces, to the shoulders. Shoulders are seamed then stitches picked up around the armholes. Sleeves are then knit in the round to the cuff. The fit should be slightly oversized, shaping used only to create the curves of the neckline and taper of the sleeves. The stranded colorwork design, included in chart form, is repeated on the front and back of the sweater. Sleeves are worked in a solid color to the cuff.
The stranded colorwork design was inspired by tree shadows cast on pristine snow in fading winter light. A pop accent color is used for the hem, cuffs, neckline and embroidery. Embroidery charts and techniques are included for both the Winterberry and Branch Outline versions.
