I couldn’t let the yoke chapter end without including at least one sweater that evokes my childhood in Maine. When the temperatures drop, the double- and triple-thick fabrics of stranded yoke sweaters keep you toasty warm - and offer a lovely chance to play with color. A turtleneck tops this garment off and promises protection from impromptu snowball fights.

The snowflake pattern is relatively simple to work, and I’ve chosen a soft, warm yarn with extensive color palette for the garment. The depth on this yoke is somewhat generous to allow for the beautiful snowflakes, so please be sure to choose a size with some positive ease in the bust.
