This pattern was inspired by my love of llamas and South America. I lived in South America for a couple years and this sweater reminds me of my time there. This pattern is also offered in English and Spanish.

Kuzco is a yoke pullover sweater. This pattern uses German short rows in the yoke and will require catching floats as there will be runs of 11 stitches of the same color in some areas of the yoke. It is knit in the round, with the yoke separating for sleeves for a seamless finish. It is designed for 4” of positive ease for a slightly relaxed fit. The gauge is 20 stitches and 28 rows for a 4” square.

Currently this pattern in only offered in sizes XS (S, M, L) XL with bust measurements of 34 (38, 42, 46) 50 inches but will be offered in extended sizing within the next several months. Please follow my Instagram account knitpickingco for updates.
