Wild Clover Sweater
Wild Clover Sweater is a sweater with a round yoke and a fine pattern of clover flowers growing down over the yoke. It can be worked with short sleeves (photo page 1) or long sleeves (photo page 13). The colourwork can be made with either with 1 strand of merino held together with 1 strand of silk mohair, or 3 strands of silk mohair held together. The latter allows for color play and fading of the flowers.

Construction
The sweater is worked from the top down. First, the neck ribbing is worked, then short rows are worked to shape the neckline. The yoke features a floral stranded colourwork pattern worked according to the chart, with increases worked over a total of 9 rounds. Once the floral pattern is complete, the remainder of the sweater is worked in the main colour only. The work is divided for the sleeves and body, and the body is completed with stockinette stitch and ribbing. The sleeves are worked to the desired length (short or long) and finished of with ribbing.
