NOORA is a beautiful Nordic name meaning “light” which I have used for my new sweater with a colorwork yoke. It is worked in one piece from top down with beads worked into the stitches (optional). The range of ease across all the sizes is 12-15 cm/5-6”. The picture shows size 4 with 15 cm/6” of positive ease.

PATTERN NOTES:
• I recommend swatching for the colorwork and if you notice that it is tighter than the stockinette stitch with one color, please use larger needles for working the colorwork section of your sweater.
• The sweater is worked in one piece top down. You start with neck band, then work neck shaping with short rows and then continue working in the round. After the round yoke, you separate the sleeves and the body and continue working them separately.

SKILLS REQUIRED:
• basics (cast on/bind off, knit/purl, increase/decrease)
• short rows
• working in the round
• working from a chart
