Squall

This top down yoked sweater features some original color work with a smattering of textured stitches that create an added depth to the motifs. I hope you enjoy knitting this one as much as I did!

Notes

This sweater is worked in the round from the top down. Short rows are worked across the back for slight shaping. The color work and textured motifs are carried down through the yoke and body. The sleeves stitches are put on hold after the yoke, then later picked up and worked the same as the body.
