Sarek Sweater is a relaxed and comfortable top-down yoke sweater. The simple yet elegant colourwork yoke is inspired by icicles and the beauty of the gradually melting glaciers as they are lost due to climate change.

CONSTRUCTION: The Sarek Sweater is knitted in the round from the top down. The simple yet effective colorwork yoke section has both charted and written instructions. You will then split for the body and sleeves which have a separate, optional charted colorwork section before the cuff. Instructions are provided for you to add a collar if you prefer a higher neckline.
