Lithriad
Lithriad is on a SUMMER SALE discount at 50% off until the end of July. Discount is added at checkout, no code needed.
Lithriad is a top-down seamless yoke sweater that is knit in the round. There is a ribbed neckline followed by short rows at the back of the neck for a comfortable fit. There is a repeated slip stitch motif all the way down the sweater. There is never more than one colour used in each round, so knitting Lithriad is simple to work, but creates effective textured colorwork. This pattern includes alternatives for short sleeves, long sleeves, as well as a steeked cardigan.
