Details
The Brunstane Sweater
Brunstane is an easy to wear sweater with a graphic yoke. Cleverly constructed to only require two strands of yarn for any single round this is the perfect introduction for a first time colourwork project. The repetitive undulating geode motif makes for a rhythmic knitting experience for the seasoned colourwork fan. Making the most of a limited colour palette the final sweater features a bold and deceptively impressive yoke. Knit from the top-down with clear instructions to guide you through short rows to lower the front neckline Brunstane is like an invigorating hike. A small effort to reach the summit and then an easy downhill stockinette stitch body.
