Description
Sturgill is a top-down yoke sweater knit seamlessly in the round with an optional matching cowl for a removable turtleneck. I personally love turtlenecks, but find them too warm most of the time, so rarely wear them although I love the way they look. This design solves that “problem” by featuring a removeable matching cowl that can be worn as needed, or left off entirely.
FDF's sample was knit out of Pishkun in Bison Princess ,Juicy DK in Nammoo, Theresa and Elk Antler.
Recommended Needle Size: US 4 (3.5 mm) & US 6 (4.0 mm)
Yarns we recommend using are:
Pishkun
Juicy DK
Bear Paw DK
Dreamstate
Tips: This design features short row shaping at the back neck, stranded colorwork and bobbles. Please note that there are several rounds that require 3 colors of yarn to be worked at once. I try to limit the number of these rounds, so just know that there won’t be too many of them and the 3 color effect will be worth those challenging rounds! I love adding little challenges into my patterns while still keeping the design approachable for adventurous beginners.
