Colorwork and lace, so lovely!! I had so much fun working on this design, I hope you enjoy it also!
For the sample I used Mitchell’s Creations Ca C’est Bon DK with Macy Grey for the main color and Honeybadger for the contrast color. Absolutely love these colors, especially together!!

Notes:
This sweater is worked in the round from the top down with a seamless colorwork and lace yoke. Short-row back neck shaping is worked before and after the colorwork, and the increases are distributed evenly around the yoke. Once the yoke is complete, the stitches for body and sleeves are divided. There is no body shaping below the armholes, but waist shaping may be added if desired. Please note, however, that a multiple of 10 stitches is needed for the bottom band. The sleeves and body can easily be lengthened simply by adding more rounds before the bottom band and cuff. Be sure to swatch the colorwork as well as the plain stockinette; it’s often necessary to change needle size to maintain consistent gauge.
