Joyfully bright, color brings the happy. Sections of texture add even more fun. This yoked pullover is worked seamlessly from the top down with options for short or long sleeves, cropped or standard length & two waist shaping styles (or skip it!). Neckline is shaped with short rows and optional tubular hems (instructions provided) are accented with a rad, striped rib. Check out my testing crew here to see a beautiful variety of color palettes and styling choices!

This is the third of three patterns in a collaboration with La Bien Aimée’s Corrie Worsted yarn base. Check out the entire collection here. These pieces are carefully curated to add comfort, versatility & style to your hand-knit wardrobe. My hope is that you’ll reach for them time and again and that they bring you as much joy to knit and wear as they have to me. The collection is a true collaboration and I loved incorporating design feature ideas from my talented friend Aimée of LBA!

Sizing: Sweater is shown in Size 2 with no ease at the Chest in the longer length with long sleeves, front & back waist shaping and tubular hems (instructions provided). Choose the size that is closest to your actual chest measurement to wear the sweater as styled, or size up for a more relaxed fit.

Featured yarn: La Bien Aimée
Corrie Worsted in Fluoro Morganite with Lise, Madeleine, Kokko & scraps of French Grey

Skills needed: Pattern is written for intermediate level knitters comfortable with stranded colorwork along with techniques such as provisional cast-on & short row shaping.
