GLENIFF sweater

> Introductory discount of 25% valid > until August 24, 2025 EOD Dublin time. > No code needed GLENIFF is a round yoke sweater with a top-down construction, relaxed boxy fit and colourwork on the yoke and body. This pattern was inspired by the beautiful Gleniff Horseshoe where I spend countless hours walking my dog and talking to the sheep, and its changes through the seasons. The pattern offers 2 colourwork options: using either 2 or 4 colours. Starting with the yoke cast on, and neckline shaping with short rows, the sweater is worked seamlessly top down. Then the body and sleeves are separated while casting on stitches for the underarms. The pattern and the yardage have been given for an average height of 165 cm / 5‘5’’ and a slightly cropped length. Please adjust the lengths according to your individual body measurements. **SIZING:** The measurements listed below are for the final sweater after washing and blocking.
