This is a yoked pullover, knit in the round from the bottom up with a few short rows in the back of the neck to give a relaxed and flattering neckline. It is a good option for those who have knit yoked pullovers before, but are now looking to challenge themselves to strand with multiple colours. The sweater is designed to be worn with 3 to 4” of positive ease, for a classic fit.

My inspiration for Aubrey’s Autumn stems from my daughter-in-law’s Eastern-Mediterranean beauty. This is the second in a series of 3 yoked pullovers, each individually inspired by three special young women in my life. The first in the series is Katie’s Silhouette. Stay tuned for the third one!
