EDIT: new version of the pattern just published since a kind Ravelry fellow pointed out to me that the conversion and units were wrong. The measurements should be in cm and inches, and nothing else.

With inspiration from Dalarna in Sweden this yoke sweater features a stranded pattern with elements from folk costumes.
Knitted top down you can easily adjust the length of sleeves and body. In my version it is a cropped boxy type of sweater to be worn over dressed or high waisted trousers.

The pattern includes tips on useful tutorials on youtube, but you can find others just by searching the terms, for example I cord cast on, on the internet.

My sweater in dark blue uses the colours typically seen in the folk costumes of Dalarna in general and more specifically in Leksand. The turquoise one is my spring edition :-)
Both knitted in the smallest size, and I am 165 cm tall.

Please give me feedback if you find errors or other things that need to be clarified in some way.
