Sweater Construction
A simple top-down, yoke sweater with a shaggy sheep motif. This is a great sweater for a beginner color-work knitter with frequent stitch counts and links to tutorials. The Yarnold in the Meadow Sweater, with an optional pocket, is perfect to wear while visiting a local farm or on an outing to the park. However, if in Buffalo, Wyoming, you can visit Yarnold, a Valais Blacknose Sheep and the mascot of Mountain Meadow Wool. It is known that he loves animal crackers as a “special” treat.
