Notes

Wonderful collaboration design by Caitlin Hunter in Yama Merino Linen Worsted.

I loved knitting these bright colours with the browns, now I have a sweater that will always remind me of adorable Llamas!

I used 4 skeins of Faded Khaki, 2 Chocolate Bark and between 10 - 20 grams of each of the 6 Neon Pop colours (total of approx. 80 grams of colourwork pops). These colours are available via my website Yamayarn.com on Nov 29th.

My sweater is still unblocked in these pictures with a gauge of 21sts to 10cm, which I expect to become close to 20sts once blocked.

I knitted my sleeves without decreases, just changing needle size all the way through. The colourwork is done on 5mm, then 4.5mm to just above the elbow, then 4mm - 3mm to the cuff and the ribbing on 2.75mm.

Knitted only 2 rows between the split for sleeves and the body colourwork.

Cast on and knit one row in the pop colour to get a neat trim.
