With a relaxed comfy fit, Caladan is a round yoke pulli, knit seamlessly from the top down and featuring a two color stranded colorwork design (yay for short floats!), making it an easy-going knit for everyone, whether it’s the first sweater you’ve ever cast on or your 10th :)
Once the yoke is done, sleeves are then placed on hold and the body finished, after which the sleeves are then picked up and also finished.
The body length is easily customizable, but changing it will also affect the yardage, so please bear that in mind.

I’m absolutely in love with this gorgeous Golden Hour colorway from Madelinetosh, created specifically for this design.
The varying tones came together to create the most beautiful moody shade, that allowed the graphic shapes in the yoke design to pop with a dark contrast color.
If you’d like to use the original colors in this sample or similar ones, check out your local yarn stores or the Madelinetosh website!
