This top-down yoke sweater, worked in Valley Yarns Worthington, features an unusual, delicate stranded colorwork yoke. With generous positive ease, it makes a great layering piece for fall. The stranded colorwork lies gracefully over the shoulders, and the contrast color is repeated on the sleeve and body hems.

Available as kit here.
