Discover here the latest knitting pattern signed by Louise Robert. This yoke-style pattern was created to celebrate the launch of the new Merino Worsted wool, a new addition to her collection of s!
"Just like a sea anemone that anchors itself to the rocks to undulate with the rhythm of the ocean, the stitch pattern of this sweater starts at the base of the neckline to unfold gracefully, carried by the sea current all the way to the end." - Louise

NOTES
This sweater is a circular yoke worked from the top down with an open ballerina style neckline style and ¾ sleeves but you may also opt for a full-length sleeve if you prefer this style. There is no extra length added for the back of the neck: the back and the front of this yoke are identical. I recommend using stitch markers between each pattern repeat. This sweater is designed to be worn with 2" to 4" of positive ease so you must choose a final size that is 2" to 4" larger than your actual bust circumference.
When working with s, even when they are all from the same dye lot, I recommend that you always alternate between two skeins at every round.
