Skill Level - Intermediate

Plectics combines simplicity and complexity in one fun-to-knit garment. Using slip stitches to create a highly-textured, colorwork yoke, this pullover looks complex but is simple to knit. The different yarns add to its complex appearance, but can simply be worked by pulling together yarns from your stash. Note that one of the contrasting colored yarns used is a multi colored yarn, which gives extra color interest. It is worked in the round from the top down, and is written out.
