Happy knitting! xo Annie
When I got my hands on this lovely yarn from Ritual Dyes I knew I wanted to design something extra special. I wanted to combine all of my favorite techniques -- seamless yoke, color work knitting and lace -- into one comfy, easy-to-wear sweater with a flattering amount of ease. This has quickly become a favorite piece in my handmade wardrobe and is truly a joy to knit!

A note on the yarns: The Fingering weight and lace Mohair yarns are meant to be held together; (B1 & B2, C1 & C2) so each letter is held together with the other yarn of the same letter. You may also substitute a single strand of light worsted weight or Dk in place of any or all of the yarns held double.

The sleeves and body are separated after the yoke motif and worked separately down to the cuff and hem. The simple lace motif at the collar is repeated on the sleeve just before the cuff.
