High Peak Sweater - Knitting Pattern

HIGH PEAK SWEATER is a stranded-colourwork yoke sweater knitted from the top down in the round. First the neck is cast on and worked in simple 1x1 rib and shaped by short rows. The increases are worked first in main colour and subsequently in pattern. The colourwork starts on the yoke and is continued on body and sleeves. The rib on the cuffs and hem is finished with a simple bind-off. HIGH PEAK SWEATER features colourwork detail with stylised mountain peaks and suns.
