Inspired by the frost-covered grasses of November, November features a stranded colorwork motif designed to evoke the feeling of that quiet month. Two contrast colors are used in the sample, which requires some rounds of knitting with three colors. The design would also be wonderfully striking worked in only one contrast color, which would only require working with two colors. November is worked seamlessly from the top-down with a circular yoke. Two sections of short rows (above and below the colorwork) ensure a flattering and comfortable neckline. The yoke is entirely charted with written instructions for the body and sleeves.

The German Short Row method is used. You can find a tutorial to it here.
