Pumpkin Spice Latte is a mid-length, top-down circular yoke cardigan with an easy-to-knit stranded colorwork design. The 12-stitch repeats for the colorwork section only use 2 colors per row, making the knitting fun and relaxing while allowing your fall-inspired yarn colors to stand out as the star of the sweater. The cardigan includes a 2-color knitted braid on the yoke, cuffs, front-edging, and hem for added detail. Once completed, the sweater is steeked at the center before the front edging stitches are picked up and knit in 3 x 1 ribbing.

This sweater is designed to be worn with 3.25-5.25″ // 8-13 cm of positive ease at the bust.
