Please enjoy 20% off ANY of my self-published sweater patterns using code SWEATERWEATHER through 2/21/23- thank you and happy knitting! Not combinable with other offers, code may be used multiple times.

Northerly is a top-down circular yoke sweater featuring colorwork, cables and lace for an engaging knit. It was loosely inspired by classic Scandinavian designs and the colors of Alaska in the winter. My sample was knit with elbow length sleeves and a cropped body, but these are adjustable to suit your preference!

The sample shown was knit using Cashmere People Cashmere Sport and Spincycle Dyed in the wool. You can find these yarns at PortFiber and Spincycle Yarns.

I recommend these options as alternatives if you are interested! Any light sport/heavy fingering yarn that meets gauge would work for this design!
