Yesteryears was really love at first sight, for its spectacular motif in the yoke; the pattern is designed by Maxim Cyr - @maxtheknitter - and at the moment is published in Worsted - A Knitwear Collection book by Aimeè Gille and Laine Magazine, a really must have!
The sweater is worked seamlessly from the top down. German short rows are used to add length to the back of the sweater. It comes in two different lengths: cropped and long, and very easy to follow in the colorwork.
A Stomy Blend DK fits perfectly the gauge thanks to its bounce, andthe new palette just gives charming options.
