Sonrae is named after a country store I used to visit when I was a child. This top down sweater is worked seamlessly and in the round. The stranded yoke is worked and short rows shape the neckline. The body and sleeves are separated, worked top to bottom, and finished with a ribbed hem and colorwork cuffs. The yoke chart is easy to follow and calls for just two colors per row. Use your choice sport or fingering weight yarn for this sweater.

This pattern is available in English and Czech. You will receive all versions with your purchase.
