This design uses lovely toning shades for the background and a stand-out contrast for the colour-work yoke.
The main part of the back and front is worked in a broken rib pattern.
The neckband and base of the yoke have a bold narrow “border” of the contrast colour, which gives a neat and smart highlight to the design.
