Twoolen uses two strands of wool yarn at a time to create a sweater with Fair Isle style. Knit in the round, this drop shoulder sweater uses steeks to form the armholes and shape the neck. Worked bottom-up, the sweater starts with a generous colorwork ribbing that matches the cuffs of the sleeves. Follow the colorwork charts and a beautiful pattern with 6 colors will be revealed. Finish off with a smaller colorwork ribbing for the neck.

Each size has it’s own chart for the sleeves so it’s easy to keep track of your decreases while working the colorwork pattern.
