Description

When we saw this sweater pop up on on our Instagram page for a testing call we immediately fell in love and knew we needed a version out of Soka’pii.  This topdown sweater combines crisp colorwork with traditional Latvian braid details and a corrugated ribbing to make something we’ve never seen before.  Briana was inspired by the thin layer of creamy limestone that is visible as short mesas and flat peak caps in eastern Zion National Park, the traditional territories of the Nuwuvi and Pueblo peoples.

The colors FDF used are: Soka'pii in Many Moons, Eagle Eye, and I've Got Dreams to Remember

Recommended Needle Size: US 4 (3.5mm) & US 2 (2.75 mm)

Yarns we recommend using are:

Squish Fingering

Notes: This sweater is worked from the top down. Stitches are cast on for the neckband, which is worked twice the finished length and folded over double before continuing to the yoke. Short rows create back neck shaping. The yoke is knit in stranded colorwork in three colors with no more than two colors worked at time. Once the yoke is complete, sleeve stitches are put on hold and then returned to the needles once the lower body is finished. Latvian braids are worked at the top and bottom of the yoke and on the lower body just before the hem. 

Find the pattern on Ravelry.
