NOTES ABOUT DESIGN

This Chill & Charm Sweater features a round yoke top-down construction with nearly invisible increases. If you’ve avoided round yoke styles due to the noticeable increases, this design offers a more seamless look.

The sweater also includes a two-color yoke pattern inspired by traditional Nordic sweaters, achieved without the need for complex colorwork techniques. Instead, a selection of simple crochet stitches is alternated to create a stunning yoke design that is both elegant and approachable.

Color changes occur at every round, with one exception per repeat, where two rounds are worked in the same color

What sets this pattern apart is its emphasis on sustainability and creativity, encouraging you to use yarn from your stash. If you have some left over yarn to use it as the secondary color it is perfect;
In terms of fiber choices, you can opt for breathable cotton or create a warmer, cozier sweater with wool or other blends, depending on your preference.

The pattern includes comprehensive instructions and a video tutorial, and it comes in nine sizes, ranging from Extra Small to 5X Large, giving you the flexibility to customize the design to your style.

For the Chill & Charm Sweater, I used Katia Concept Cotton Merino Fine in color Whitish Green (84) (color A) and Lang Yarns Noelle in color Jade (73)(contrasting color, color B);
Yarn composition Katia Cotton Merino Fine:70% organic cotton, 30% Merino extra fine; Each skein has 25 grams and is approximately 75 meters.
Yarn Composition Lang Yarns Noelle: 79% Merino, 21% Polyamide; each skein has 25grams and approximately 185 meters; note: because this yarn was thinner, I used 2 strands held together;
