Riparia was the first of 6 patterns in The Riverwalk Collection, a collaboration of yarn + patterns with The Knitting Boutique.

You can find out more about the collection here.

Riparia is a top-down pullover with a colorful yoke that evokes bright wildflowers grown at the edge of a riverbank. The hem and cuffs offer an opportunity to continue to indulge in colorwork with complementary motifs.
