Notes

After seeing Katrins and Fraukes beautiful Birkis I needed one for myself.
This has been my first steek project and it won’t be the last.

Love it and it is sooo comfy.

Added short rows before and after working the yoke.
I used a provisional cast on and knitted the yoke first. Then picked up the stitches of the provisional cast on and knitted the rest of the sweater top down.
