Blue Brick Road is a top-down, circular yoke sweater. The name of this design comes from the yarn : the luxurious Road to China Light by The Fibre Co.
My local yarn store had a limited amount of this gorgeous Cobalt colorway, and this is why I came up with this stitch pattern : to stretch every skein to the absolute maximum.
The result is the lightest and softest sweater.
