Notes

I’m all in for the Lopi Knit Along that Berroco is leading.
Colors: Oatmeal Heather (MC) , Frostbite (Yoke background) and Glacier Blue (bright contrast)

Modifications:
- made it a pullover by omitting the center steek stitches but adding one stitch to make the ribbing even numbered.

  • added length to the bottom but omitted the hem colorwork

  • added shortrows in the back of the neck before starting the colorwork yoke

  • due to added length, I ran short of main color for my sleeves, so I added and extra repeat of the colorwork chart for the sleeves--you can tell in the top photo

ETA: I made the mistake of copying the instructions from Making magazine in B&W (instead of color). I took the copy with me on a trip when the magazine would have been too hefty. It turns out the colorwork chart is in shades that don’t translate well to grayscale--the “no stitch” and CC1 were the same shade of gray! Made things confusing. I recommend making a color copy or taking a phone photo in color of the chart.

More on my blog link. Love this sweater and wear it all the time!
