Product Details

Description

Donna got chickens! Of course, being a knitting designer and indie dyer, I started having ideas about projects inspired by my feisty hens.

The Colors – Chicken colors of course. I created three color combinations for the project:

Natural white and gray, bright gold and red, both inspired by my hens, and a green/blue/purple iridescent colorway inspired by Katie’s rooster at our local Cloverworks neighboring farm in Vermont.

Each section of the yoke is knitted without decreases. A few plain rows worked between the charts allow you to de-crease without interrupting the stitch pattern.

Icelandic Yoke Sweater – Includes 6 workshop handouts:

Color patterns in bands on yoke only
Lower body and sleeves worked in the round to the armholes, then joined so the yoke can also be worked in the round
Yoke decreases are worked between pattern bands
Finishing? Just sew two short seams at the underarms
