Proclivity
Proclivity is a top-down seamless yoke sweater that is inspired by Icelandic lopapeysa designs, and features bold geometrical patterns in strongly contrasting colors. There is a folded ribbed neckline followed by short rows at the back of the neck that create a comfortable fit. The stranded colorwork yoke has invisible increases, and upon completion is split into the body and arms. The body features optional waistline shaping, and the hem is finished off with ribbing. The cuffs feature small elements and colors that echo the yoke design. The body of Proclivity is slightly cropped, and the sleeves are loose fitting and then brought in at the wrist, to add a contemporary flair to the more traditional lopapeysa fit.
