Forest Berry Sweater. Named for the deep reds and blues of berries ripening at the edge of the forest, Forest Berry pairs a soft cream body with a rich colorwork yoke in berry red, navy, and warm brown, with a small matching motif at the cuffs.

This relaxed pullover lets the yoke take center stage against the light body below, for a look that feels both cozy and a little festive. Worked in the round from the bottom up, the body and sleeves are knit separately, then joined for the yoke — no seams except grafting the underarms.

A great next project if you have tried colorwork before, or a rewarding first one: the charts use clear color blocks and straightforward decreases, explained step by step.

Comes in 6 sizes (S–XXXL), 7–10cm positive ease, for a relaxed fit. Yarn is an alpaca-merino blend with a polyamide core thread, 150m/50g — any yarn matching this gauge and yardage will work.
