Whiteowlcrochetco. Web of Diamonds Sweater

This top-down circular yoke sweater is named for its similarity to a spider web and the geometrical design between each of the colourwork “wedges”. Web of Diamonds is a straightforward colourwork yoke pattern with a few intermediate techniques (don’t worry – easier techniques can be used instead!).

Techniques used include:

• Knitting in the round
• Tubular cast-on (or long tail cast-on if preferred)
• 2x2 Rib Stitch
• Japanese short rows
• Stranded colourwork
• Increasing/Decreasing
• Backwards Loop cast-on
• Tubular bind-off (or traditional bind-off if preferred)

Two lengths are provided to suit your preferences: a cropped, shorter length, and a full, longer length.
