02 Diamond Yoke

I wanted to make the classic diamond pattern sweater more striking, so I lowered the yoke line to increase the overall volume and create a graphical shadow. The yarn I used for the sample is BRUSCA from Retrosalia Rosa Romar, a favorite yarn with lots of great colors like M&M's Chocolate.
