A classic Nordic-style yoke, a line of leaping deer — and one slightly less subtle moment of deer biology. After sharing the finished sweater and receiving so much interest, I decided to make the charts available for anyone curious about the construction, the motifs, or simply for inspiration.

Fit & Size Disclaimer

Fit note:
I am very tall, and this sweater was designed to fit my proportions. As a result, the yoke depth may be too deep for average-height knitters. Please review the measurements carefully and consider adjusting the yoke depth before casting on.

Pattern Status Disclaimer

This is not a complete, tested pattern, but a provisional chart-based write-up shared as-is. While I have knit this sweater successfully, the instructions have not been tech-edited or test-knit in multiple sizes.

I hope to eventually turn this into a full, polished knitting pattern, but I can’t promise if or when that will happen.
