Sweater Construction
A top-down yoke sweater with an easy colorwork chart with incorporated increases. Short rows are used to enhance the fit and provide a higher back neck. You can adjust the length of the sweater to your liking - slightly cropped or a longer length. This is a great sweater for a beginner Fair Isle knitter with frequent stitch counts and links to technique tutorials. The Thistle & Posy sweater is perfect to wear with your tartan while visiting the Scottish Highlands or on an outing to get a cuppa tea.
