This is a yoked pullover, knit in the round from the bottom up with a few short rows at the back of the neck to give a relaxed and flattering neckline. Like “Aubrey’s Autumn”, it is a good option for those who have knit yoked pullovers before, but are now looking to challenge themselves to strand with multiple colours. The sweater is designed to be worn with 3” to 4” of positive ease for a classic fit.

My inspiration for Dana’s Palette gives nod to my step-daughter’s amazing artistic talent. This is the final addition in a series of 3 yoked pullovers each individually inspired by three young women in my life -- Katie’s Silhouette, Aubrey’s Autumn, and now Dana’s Palette.
