Knitted top down and seamlessly this 4ply/fingering weight jersey features a stranded colourwork circular yoke of falling leaves cascading downwards. It is perfect for using up small part balls or even a mini gradient to make the leaves pop.

This jersey features both twisted ribbing and german short row shaping. This is built into the colourwork at the neckline to raise the back up and full written instructions for how to complete this are included.

The pattern contains two charts for a single or double row of leaves. All sizes can be made with the single row of leaves while those over size 4 can choose to have a double row. There is also written instructions for those who do not use charts.

This pattern is well written with lots of notes and tips to help you along your way. It is perfect for someone new to colourwork.
