Designed as an easy-going but stylish wardrobe piece, Momo Motte is a very beginner-friendly project, either as a first sweater or for venturing into the world of colorwork knitting. The not too complicated motif and larger gauge make it a relatively quick knit, and suitable for any yarn between worsted and bulky weight.
The perfect companion for chilly days!

PATTERN NOTES:
The sweater is worked in the round from the top down, starting with the colorwork yoke. After the colorwork motif is completed, short rows are used to raise the back and improve the fit at the neckline. The yoke is finished with a few raglan rounds before separating for body and sleeves.

The body is worked in the round with a few extra (optional) short rows right above the hem, for those who prefer a slightly lower back. Sleeves are also worked in the round with decreases.

The pattern also provides some helpful tips on how to adjust it to suit your own preferences.
