Midnight Garden is a bewitchingly striking pullover with cascading vines and florals adorning the yoke. The dramatic motif pairs with a relaxed fit, simple top-down construction, and DK-weight yarn for a marvelous, fun-to-knit project you’ll love making and wearing.

This pattern is from the book, KnitOvation Stitch Dictionary and is only available in the book. The book includes an explanation of how the pattern was designed and a blank wedge yoke chart to empower you to design your own sweater using motifs from the book.

Needles & Notions
Adjust needle size if necessary to obtain correct gauge.

Stockinette stitch and ribbing: U.S. size 6 (4 mm): 32” (80 cm) circular needle, 16”(40 cm) circular needle, and set double- pointed needles, or preferred small-circumference needle such as a long circular needle for Magic Loop method.

Colorwork: U.S. size 8 (5 mm): 32” (80 cm) circular needle.

Markers (m), tapestry needle, waste yarn, and spare circular needle the same size or smaller than your Stockinette stitch gauge needle.

Skills
I consider this an intermediate level pattern. Techniques used include shaping in colourwork, working colourwork from charted instructions, applied I-cord, and tubular bind-off.
