Like the swell of ocean waves, the fair isle patterning in the yoke of this sweater grows and flows, transitioning from light to dark. The special hand-dyed colors from Vrinda make this piece look like it was painted by hand.

This sweater is knit seamlessly from the top down. Color changes are achieved by using the stranded method of knitting. There are a few rows with long-ish color floats. Trap all floats longer than five stitches.

Gauge
21 sts x 28 rows = 4” in stockinette stitch with larger needle

Note on needle sizes: The smaller needle is intended for the garter edgings, while the larger needle is for everything else. Though if you find that your stranded gauge tends to be a bit tighter than plain stockinette, you may want to consider even a larger size than recommended for that portion.
