Inspired by vintage ski sweaters and named for the iconic slope-side bar/restaurant at Alyeska, this yoke sweater is knit in DK weight Marona from Ritual Dyes. Sitzmark is also a word for the depression, hole, or indentation left by a skier falling backward in the snow! ;)

Sitzmark is knit from the top down in the round featuring short row shaping for the back neck and a bold yoke motif and colorwork sleeve details.

This design is unisex and size inclusive and includes instructions on how to modify for your body and sleeve lengths as desired.

Kits are available from Ritual Dyes! You can find them here
