I used the beautiful long gradient yarn as contrast color for the yoke on this sweater and its colors reminded me of a sunbreak, my favourite time of the day when I can fully devote myself to knitting and designing without any interruption. It is a seamless top-down sweater with a stranded colorwork yoke. The range of ease across all the sizes is 5.5-9.5 cm/2.25-3.75”. The picture shows size 2 with 6 cm/2.5” of positive ease.
