A delightful confection of a sweater, Gateau begins with a simple yoke and transitions into colorful stripes in the body, begging you to knit just one more row. This lightweight sweater is the perfect garment for spring and fall and a great project to use those beautiful scraps and hand-dyed mini skeins.
