ROLE MODEL YOKE PULLOVER KNITTING KIT
This sweater truly is my most favorite addition to my knit wardrobe. I love to knit stranded colorwork! The colorwork that I enjoy the most are small repeats where there is no concern about long floats or the fabric bunching up, and I find using multiple colors so satisfying. So, I decided to take what I love most about the autumn season (the colors), stranded colorwork (small colorful repeats), and the comfortable style of this construction (circular) to create the Role Model Yoke sweater.
