Zaviona

Zaviona is a top-down seamless yoke sweater that is knit in the round. There is a corrugated ribbed neckline followed by short rows at the back of the neck for a comfortable fit. The yoke features stranded colourwork that has a whimsical flowing curlicue motif. There is optional waist and hip shaping to add feminine shape, and the hem is finished off with ribbing. The pattern offers alternatives for both mid length and long sleeves. Both versions are finished off with corrugated ribbing. The motif was inspired by Art Nouveau Metalwork in Poland. **Sizes** XS (S, M, L, XL)(2XL, 3XL, 4XL, 5XL) **Chest Circumference of Completed Garment** 84 (94, 104, 114, 124)(135, 146, 155, 169)cm/33.5 (37.5, 41.5, 45.5, 49.5)(54, 58.5, 62, 67.5)" **Suggested Needles** 4mm (US 6) circular needles 60cm/24" long AND circular needle, double-pointed needles or preferred method for knitting small circumferences in the round or size to obtain gauge. 3.5mm (US 4) circular needles 60cm/24" long AND circular needle, double-pointed needles or preferred method for knitting small circumferences in the round or size to obtain gauge.
