The color work featured in this yoke is so engaging that I foresee a lot of late nights in your future. Go ahead, JUST TRY to put it down, I dare you!

The number one thing that my testers enjoyed about this design is how intricate the color work LOOKS but how simple it is to actually knit. This fancy yoke design is accomplished mostly with 2 color rounds with the exception of a few portions of the chart where you are using 3 strands at once.

Skill level: intermediate to somewhat beginner friendly if you are familiar with color work. Just take it one round at a time and you’ll do great!
