Earth & Sky is a circular yoke sweater that uses self repeating yarn for yoke and solid tweed for the body. Self striping and tweed are a match made in heaven! The fit is a classic a-line, it’s universally flattering, not too loose and not tight.
The colors of my sample reminded of fertile soil and blue spring sky, hence the name! This sweater has younger siblings - cowl and a hat that actually were designed AFTER the sweater, but released earlier.

Both corrugated rib and standard rib cuffs and hem options are included in the pattern.

The pattern is available in 10 sizes.

The sweater is worked top down seamlessly in the round, with no finishing - you can try it on as you go and once you bind off, you are done!
