Chickenspiration Yoke Sweater
Donna got chickens! Of course, being a knitting designer and indie dyer, I started having ideas about projects inspired by my feisty hens.
The Colors – Chicken colors of course. I created three color combinations for the project:
Natural white and gray, bright gold and red, both inspired by my hens, and a green/blue/purple iridescent colorway inspired by Katie’s rooster at our local Cloverworks neighboring farm in Vermont.
Each section of the yoke is knitted without decreases. A few plain rows worked between the charts allow you to de-crease without interrupting the stitch pattern.
Icelandic Yoke Sweater - Includes 6 handouts:
- Color patterns in bands on yoke only
- Lower body and sleeves worked in the round to the armholes, then joined so the yoke can also be worked in the round
- Yoke decreases are worked between pattern bands
- Finishing? Just sew two short seams at the underarms
