The Oak Leaf sweater features a deep ribbed waist and colourwork yoke, with cap sleeves that are formed by picking up stitches and working a ribbed trim.

It’s knitted in Rowan Felted Tweed DK, which comes in a wide range of colours that combine beautifully with the foliage-inspired motif.

The front and back are worked flat to the armholes and then joined to work the yoke seamlessly. The oak leaf motif is shown on a chart.

The sweater is designed to fit with 3cm to 9cm/ 1.25in to 3.5in positive ease.
