Zig-zag with dots and knit-purl relief – the dynamic pattern forms a perfect round yoke around the shoulders and reappears at the sleeve cuffs. The rest is simply knitted in plain stockinette stitch. The yarn is classic: superfine MERINO 120 by Austermann. It is knitted from bottom to top – only from the yoke onwards are all parts joined and knitted in the round. The striking zig-zag pattern in contrasting colours is additionally emphasized with a relief of knit and purl stitches, giving the round yoke pattern a slightly three-dimensional look. A modern, eye-catching version of the classic Icelandic round yoke sweater in strong contrasting colours!
