Kit Lopapeysa Sweater Snowberry

This pattern is for a seamless lopapeysa-style sweater worked top down in the round with a decorative stranded colourwork yoke. After the yoke is completed, the body and sleeves are separated and worked in plain stockinette stitch, which highlights the yoke as the main decorative element. Subtle short-row shaping after the yoke creates a comfortable, well-balanced fit at the back neck. Ribbing at the neckline, cuffs, and hem gives the sweater a clean, finished look.
