The Tiffany Lamp Sweater is an effortless colorwork yoke design, inspired by a Tiffany lamp in the National Portrait Gallery in Washington, DC. The complex glass designs of Tiffany lamp shades are reflected in the gorgeous geometric colorwork yoke – perfect for playing around with your favorite colors!

Tiffany Lamp is worked seamlessly from the top down, in the round. The colorwork yoke features stranded knitting with increases, decreases and short-rows. When the yoke is finished, the body and sleeves are divided and worked separately in a seamless construction.
