Brick Lane Sweater is a round yoke colorwork top/sweater worked top down in the round, seamlessly. The colorwork motif is very easy to work and the construction only requires a handful of techniques, making this a wonderful pattern for someone new to either colorwork or garment knitting! Instructions are included for both short and long sleeves, as well as how to shorten or lengthen the body of the sweater. Using four different colors may look intimidating, but you will always only use two of them at any given time, in the colorwork section. Pick out your most-worn, favorite hues for the contrast colors and enjoy the classic, easy to style garment that you will keep reaching for again and again!
