Anja
This round yoke sweater features a geometric pattern reminiscent of woven rugs and tapestries. The sweater is worked top-down starting with the collar, short rows which are worked flat, and colorwork for the yoke. The body and sleeves are separated and worked in stockinette, all finished with ribbing and a Tubular Bind-off. Options are given for long, slightly balloon shaped sleeves or short sleeves and two collar styles.
The colorwork is engaging with minimal long floats.
