Sparkkle is a top-down seamless yoke sweater that is knit in the round. There is a ribbed neckline followed by short rows at the back of the neck for a comfortable fit. The yoke features contemporary zig zag stranded colourwork. There is optional waist and hip shaping to add feminine shape, and the hem is finished off with ribbing. The sleeves are finished off with zig zags that highlight the yoke motif. The pattern includes a colourwork chart as well as a symbol chart, for you to adapt the yoke to your own colours.
