Knit a classic circular-yoke pullover with a statement design. The Larkspur Sweater features a dramatic floral motif that accentuates the upper body of this luxe project. Increases are creatively hidden within the stranded colorwork, shaping the neckline without disrupting the pattern.

Notes

  • For techniques you don’t know, visit our online glossary at www.interweave.com/www.interweave.com/interweave-knitting....

  • This pullover is worked in one piece in the round from the top down.

  • The chart is worked using the stranded method. Always pick up the background color over the pattern color and pick up the pattern color from under the background color. Keep floats loose. For floats longer than five stitches, tack stranded yarn on the wrong side of the work.
