Yokelore Sweater
Yarn kits are available from The Farmers Daughter here!
About:
Inspired by traditional quilt patterns, the Yokelore Sweater is knit entirely in the round, from the top down. The pattern uses a yoke sweater construction, but with consistent increasing similar to a raglan design. Although the pattern uses five different colours, the four contrast colours can be sourced from leftovers from past projects.

The Farmer’s Daughter Juicy DK, DK Weight Yarn
100% superwash merino, 274 yards (250 m) per 100g skein

One-colour stockinette suggestion: US 5 (3.75 mm) needles.
