Yokelore Sweater

**About:** Inspired by traditional quilt patterns, the Yokelore Sweater is knit entirely in the round, from the top down. The pattern uses a yoke sweater construction, but with consistent increasing similar to a raglan design. Although the pattern uses five different colours, the four contrast colours can be sourced from leftovers from past projects. **Yarn:** The Farmer's Daughter Juicy DK, DK Weight Yarn 100% superwash merino, 274 yards (250 m) per 100g skein Colours: Legend (MC), Bear Gulch (CC 1), Theresa (CC 2), Prairie Smoke (CC 3), and York (CC 4) **Gauge:** 24 sts and 26 rounds to a 10 cm/ 4 inch square, in the round, blocked One-colour stockinette suggestion: US 5 (3.75 mm) needles.
