Suolaulu Talvi

This sweater has the colourwork pattern from the original Suolaulu sweater knitted into the yoke of this bottom-up sweater. The snow crystal- and flora-themed sweater was born out of requests from knitters to turn the popular original sweater into a yoked version. Knitted from DK-weight yarn, this one is warm enough to wear during outdoor activities and the turtleneck collar offers protection from the wind. Worked at the yoke, the beautiful pattern looks like a statement necklace. **SIZE** XS (S, M, L) (XL, 2XL, 3XL) (4XL, 5XL, 6XL) The cardigan is designed to have a slightly oversized fit.
