Balmaha

This light pullover with a stranded, textured yoke is a great throw-on sweater for cool lochside evenings. It is named for the village at the foot of Còinneach hill on Loch Lomond’s eastern shore.

Gauge
28 sts and 36 rounds to 10cm / 4in over colourwork pattern and stockinette in the round using gauge-size needle. If your colourwork tends to tighten, you may need to change needle sizes to achieve gauge over both stitch patterns. Gauge was achieved with 3.25mm / US 3 needle

Pattern notes
This pullover is knitted from the bottom up, all in one piece. The body is made first, followed by the sleeves, before joining together and working the colourwork yoke from a chart. Where only one number is given this applies to all sizes.
