  • This is a PDF knitting pattern.

    This fingering weight sweater is knit seamlessly in the round starting at the top collar. Choose a main color for most of the fabric with five contrasting colors for the colorwork yoke. The colorful stripes in the yoke are worked with slip stitches, so you only knit with one color at a time. This decorative yoke pattern is ideal for small amounts of fingering weight yarn. The body and sleeves of the sweater are knit in relaxing stockinette stitch. Finish the edges with a folded hem or try a smooth ribbed edging to customize the cuffs and bottom of the body. Once you knit your Aurora Cabin Sweater, adventure into the Westknits shawl world with the Aurora Cabin Shawl for a coordinating slip stitch ensemble!
