rosette is a circular yoke sweater worked seamlessly from the top down. Yabane and Karahanabishi motifs on the yoke are inspired by Japanese KOGIN embroidery. The yoke is worked in stranded colourwork, then stitches are divided into sleeves and body at the underarm. The lower body is worked straight or in a balloon shape. The sleeves are worked with a small motif with intarsia in the round.
