Queen of the Forest Sweater
Queen of the Forest is knitted top down in the round using a 3-ply/superfine/fingering weight yarn. Although the yoke looks impressively complicated, it is actually fairly easy to knit. At no point are more than 2 colours being worked at the same time.
This sweater is best for sizes M - 2XL or anywhere in the range 42 - 52 cm (16 - 20 inches) measured flat armpit to armpit. You will need around 2300 - 2500 m or 3000 - 3200 yards of yarn in 10 different shades. Also 3 circular needles, including one with a long cord (I used 300cm/120 inches - though 200 cm/80 inches would also work) for the yoke.
All the charts are provided - both in the colour scheme shown and also in black and white for those who prefer to choose their own shades.
