About the design

The plush sweater combines simplicity and elegance with a classic colorwork pattern across the yoke. The sweater is knitted in a soft yarn containing alpaca, wool, and cotton, making it both warm and comfortable to wear.
With its high neck that extends slightly onto the yoke and ribbed edges, the sweater has a timeless look suitable for both everyday wear and casual moments.

The pattern is suitable for knitters of all levels, especially those looking to try colorwork. The detailed instructions make it an accessible project whether you are a beginner or experienced. It’s a versatile and classic sweater that fits into any wardrobe and can be customized with your own color choices and preferences.

Construction

The plush sweater is knitted from the top down, allowing for a flexible and adjustable fit. The neck is worked with short rows and different needle sizes to seamlessly integrate the neck as part of the yoke. The yoke is worked in the round with regular increases, creating a flattering fit and structure. The pattern is knitted across the yoke, after which the sleeve stitches are put on hold, and the body is completed. Once the body is finished, the sleeves are knitted, including a small portion of the pattern before the ribbing is finished.
