Loved your Cat Love hat? Now you can indulge your love for leopard print further with this yoke sweater.

Roar! is my take on the leopard print trend pullovers - you get just a bit of this flirtatious yet classic motif near your face. Did you know that leopard print is considered a neutral?

The pullover is worked top down in the round seamlessly. When the yoke is finished, body and sleeves are worked separately to the hem. Easy peasy! (and you are left with a stylishly unique sweater that I promise you no one else has). Choose your colors and cast on! I think the sweater looks awesome in pretty much any combo, but I am partial to classic shades here.
